What grows around Welkom
Welkom was planned as a garden city for the goldfields, and its wide streets and traffic circles were planted with trees that are now mature: gums, pines, cypresses, pepper trees, Chinese elms and planes. Old mine land and mine villages around town often hold long rows of tall gums. Mine dumps and tailings ponds bring dust and poor soil. The climate is dry with hot summers, short heavy storms and frosty winters. Many trees now reach heights that cause trouble, with limbs over roofs, roads and power lines. Homeowners, schools and mining properties ask for felling of tall gums and pines, while estates ask for crown work. Never work near power lines.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- 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
- Servitudes and fire breaks: trimming small branches away from fences and gates on servitudes
