North West notes on tree care & clean-up
Thorn bush thinning on farms between Mahikeng and Zeerust is a slow job that is often quoted per hectare after a site walk. In Potchefstroom, garden services prune the mature street and garden trees near the Mooi River before summer storms. Willow and syringa along the Crocodile River near Brits need follow-up after clearing, and much of the thorn wood ends up as braai wood.
Trees in North West
Much of North West is open thorn bushveld and maize land, broken by the Magaliesberg and the river valleys around Hartbeespoort, Brits and the Vaal. Farms often have long bluegum windbreaks and pepper trees round the homestead, while towns such as Potchefstroom and Rustenburg have older streets with mature exotic trees that have outgrown their pavements. Dry winters and hot summers stress trees, and summer storms then bring down weakened limbs. Smallholders and farmers ask for bush thinning, windbreak felling and clearing of stands, while homeowners in the dam and mining towns want trees off roofs and walls. Thorn trees near the Pilanesberg and Madikwe may include protected species, so check whether a tree is protected before you clear.
