Northern Cape notes on tree care & clean-up
Pruning in Kimberley, De Aar and Colesberg is mostly deadwooding: taking out dry limbs from pepper trees and pines before summer winds drop them on roofs. Mesquite clearing around Upington, Prieska and the Kenhardt road is slow because the thorny stems resprout. In Springbok and the Namaqualand towns, garden services remove old shade trees and cart the branches to the municipal garden site.
What grows around Northern Cape
Big skies, few trees and long distances shape tree work in the Northern Cape. The camel thorn, or kameeldoring, is the tree of the Kalahari around Kathu, Kuruman and Upington, and it is protected under the National Forests Act, as is the shepherd's tree: no cutting or pruning without a licence. In Kimberley and the Karoo towns, pepper trees, bluegums and old pines give shade on stands and church grounds, and some have grown huge. Mesquite has spread along dry riverbeds and farm roads in parts of the province. Heat, drought and strong wind weaken limbs, so requests are mostly for dead tree removal, invader clearing on farms and careful pruning, often with travel costs added.
Who asks for garden refuse removal around Northern Cape, most often first:
