Equipment & supplies in Upington: local notes
Farms near Groblershoop and Kakamas often own a chainsaw and a PTO chipper for vineyard and orchard prunings. Pole saws and long pruners suit palm work from the ground in town gardens. Chippers and stump grinders may need to be booked ahead or brought in. Heat is a real risk, so plan work early and keep protective gear on.
Upington: trees, weather and gardens
Upington is an oasis on the Orange River, with vineyards, date palms and green irrigated fields in a hot, dry desert setting. Date palms line streets and farms, while river banks carry willows, karee, wild tamarisk and invaders such as mesquite. Gardens hold pepper trees, palms and gums, all of which rely on irrigation. Summers are extremely hot, and storms are short, with strong winds that can drop palm fronds and dead wood. Farmers ask for windbreak and riverbank clearing and old vine and palm removal, while homeowners want palms cleaned and pepper trees cut back. Check the alien listing for your area and whether indigenous trees are protected.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: pruning avocado, mango and citrus trees from the ground in the orchard
- Homeowners: lifting branches off the gutter, driveway and pool fence without a ladder
- Businesses and commercial property: trimming low branches over parking bays and walkways on office grounds
