Felling & removal in Free State: local notes
Bloemfontein suburbs such as Westdene, Universitas and Brandwag have old pines and gums that outgrew their stands, so sectional felling is the usual method. In the Welkom and Odendaalsrus goldfields, fellers clear dead trees from vacant stands and mine-era streets. Around Bethlehem and Reitz, windbreak rows are felled whole into open fields, which is quicker and cheaper than working near houses.
Trees in Free State
Flat maize and wheat country covers most of the Free State, and the trees that matter are the ones farmers and town planners put in: bluegum windbreaks, pepper trees round the homestead, and avenues of exotic trees in Bloemfontein and Kroonstad. In the east, near Bethlehem, Clarens and Harrismith, willows and poplars line the streams and spread along wetlands. Winters bring hard frost and, in the east, the odd snowfall, while summer hail can strip a crown in minutes. Farmers ask most for windbreak felling and stream clearing, and town homeowners want gums and pines off roofs and walls. Willow, poplar and gum may all be listed invaders here, so check the listing for your tree and area.
