Trees in Ladysmith
Ladysmith sits on the Klip River in the hot, dry thornveld below the Drakensberg, where summers bring sudden storms and winters are cold and dry. Older parts of town have big jacarandas, syringas, pepper trees and bluegums planted long ago, and the surrounding farms carry gum windbreaks and acacia thorn bush. Floods along the river have shaped the town, and trees on the banks can be undercut and start to lean. Work is a mix of town gardens, farm windbreaks and bush clearing for grazing. Some indigenous trees in the district may be protected, and syringa and gums are listed invaders in many places, so check the listing for your tree and area before acting.
