Kimberley notes on felling & removal
Old pepper trees in Belgravia and Beaconsfield often grow over roofs and walls, so they are usually cut in sections. Dead gums on old mine land near the Big Hole and Kenilworth can often be dropped whole where space allows. On plots near Roodepan and Ritchie, camel thorn is protected, so check before felling. Ask whether stumps will be ground.
Trees in Kimberley
Kimberley lies in hot, dry country, and the trees here have to be tough. Pepper trees, planted widely in older suburbs and on mine land, grow wide and heavy and drop limbs. Camel thorn, which is protected, grows on the open veld around the city and in some older yards. Gardens also carry gums, cypresses, karee and palms. Summers are very hot with short, violent thunderstorms, and winters are cold and frosty. Drought often leaves trees weak, and old pepper trees split or lean over walls. Homeowners, schools, churches and old mine properties ask for removal of dead trees and pruning of pepper trees. Check whether a camel thorn is protected before removing it.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners: an overgrown stand or back yard cleared of scrub, small trees and old rubble
- Schools, churches and municipalities: parks, verges and school grounds cleared of bush, invaders and dumped waste
- Businesses and commercial property: vacant land beside premises cleared to cut fire risk and dumping
