Trees in Gauteng
Gauteng is a planted forest on a grassland plateau. Pretoria's jacarandas, the old bluegum rows of Johannesburg and the plane trees and pin oaks of the northern suburbs were put in by people a long time ago, and many now tower over houses, pools and boundary walls. Highveld summer storms bring hail, lightning and sudden gusts that split crowns and drop limbs on roofs and cars, so calls climb between October and March. Homeowners, security estates and body corporates ask most for sectional felling on tight stands, crown lifting off roofs and stump grinding. Street trees usually belong to the municipality, and gums and jacarandas may be listed invaders, so check the listing for your tree before anyone cuts.
