Felling & removal in Eastern Cape: local notes

In Walmer, Newton Park and Mill Park, old pines and gums lean after years of wind, so fellers often take them down in sections over walls and roofs. Around Nahoon and Beacon Bay in East London, storm-damaged trees are cleared from steep gardens near the river. On farms near Stutterheim and Cathcart, wattle and gum stands are felled whole and the stumps treated to stop resprouting.

Eastern Cape: trees, weather and gardens

The Eastern Cape runs from Karoo plains to green coastal hills, and its tree problems change along the way. Black wattle has spread across the Amathole and the former Transkei, choking streams and grazing, while Port Jackson and rooikrans grow thick on coastal dunes near Gqeberha, Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred. Older suburbs in Gqeberha, East London and Makhanda have big pines, gums and Norfolk pines that the wind works on all year, and berg wind days bring dry heat and fire risk. In the Karoo towns, pepper trees shade the stands. Farmers ask most for invader clearing, while town owners want wind-damaged limbs and leaning trees taken down. Check the listing for your tree and area first.
