What to know locally in Mbombela
Big figs and flamboyants in Sonheuwel and West Acres often stand close to houses on sloping stands, so most removals are sectional with rigging. Palms in Riverside Park and Steiltes are taken down from the top, and the fronds and seeds need clearing. On plots towards Karino and Rocky Drift, check whether indigenous trees such as marula are protected before any bush clearing starts.
