George notes on felling & removal
In George, removals are often tall pines and gums close to homes in Heatherlands, Denneoord and Blanco, lowered in sections where there is no room to fall them. Near Wilderness and Herold's Bay, steep slopes add rigging work. Before taking out any big indigenous tree, check whether it is a protected yellowwood or another listed species. Pine stumps do not usually resprout, so grinding is mostly about looks and space.
Trees in George
George sits on a coastal plateau under the Outeniqua Mountains, where the Garden Route's indigenous forest meets large pine plantations. Rain falls in all seasons, so growth is steady and trees get big. Yellowwoods, stinkwoods and other forest trees grow in gardens and kloofs, and real yellowwoods are protected, so a licence is needed before cutting one. Pines, gums and blackwood planted around town spread into fynbos and forest edges, and several are listed invaders. Wildfires have hit the Garden Route before, and strong winds bring trees down. Homes, estates, farms and the timber trade all ask for tree work, and cutting pines back from houses is a common request.
Typical palm tree removal requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a tall palm beside the pool removed in sections or trimmed of dead fronds
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: rows of palms along estate roads trimmed each year and dead palms removed
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: old palms near homesteads and dams removed and the trunks carted away
