Trees in Kariega
Kariega lies inland of Gqeberha along the Swartkops River, hotter in summer than the coast and sheltered from some of the sea wind. Older parts of town have tall bluegums, pines, pepper trees and jacarandas, and large factory and industrial sites hold rows of trees along fences and parking areas. The hills behind the town towards Groendal carry fynbos and thicket, while alien wattle and Port Jackson spread along watercourses. Dry spells leave trees stressed, and dead gums are a frequent call. Factories, schools and homeowners ask most. Check whether thicket trees are protected before clearing, and leave street trees to the metro.
