Felling & removal in Mthatha: local notes
Felling in Mthatha town, around Southernwood, Fort Gale and Ikwezi, often means old gums close to roofs, taken down in sections. In villages towards Libode, Mqanduli and Qunu, whole gum and wattle stands near homesteads are felled where there is room, and the wood is usually kept for fuel. Gum and wattle resprout, so ask whether the stumps will be treated or ground, or the trees will be back within a season or two.
What grows around Mthatha
Mthatha is the main centre of the former Transkei region, set on the Mthatha River among rolling grassland hills. Bluegums, pines and wattle were planted widely around homesteads, schools, missions and old woodlots, and many of those trees are now tall, heavy and close to buildings. Summer brings thunderstorms with lightning and strong wind, while winters are cool and dry. Requests come from homeowners in town, schools, churches, clinics and government buildings, and from families in surrounding villages clearing trees near houses and kraals. Much work is outside the city, so travel adds to the cost. Wattle and gums are often listed invaders, so check the listing for your tree and area.
