What to know locally in Northern Cape
In Kimberley, large pepper trees and gums in Belgravia and around the older mining streets near the Big Hole are often dead or hollow and come down in sections. Along the Orange River at Upington, Keimoes and Kakamas, fellers remove gums and dying shade trees from farm and vineyard edges. Near Kathu and Kuruman, any work around camel thorn needs a licence first, even for a single tree.
What grows around Northern Cape
Big skies, few trees and long distances shape tree work in the Northern Cape. The camel thorn, or kameeldoring, is the tree of the Kalahari around Kathu, Kuruman and Upington, and it is protected under the National Forests Act, as is the shepherd's tree: no cutting or pruning without a licence. In Kimberley and the Karoo towns, pepper trees, bluegums and old pines give shade on stands and church grounds, and some have grown huge. Mesquite has spread along dry riverbeds and farm roads in parts of the province. Heat, drought and strong wind weaken limbs, so requests are mostly for dead tree removal, invader clearing on farms and careful pruning, often with travel costs added.
Typical stump grinding requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: rows of gum stumps ground on open ground with a towable grinder
- Homeowners: a stump in the lawn ground below the surface so grass can grow over it
- Schools, churches and municipalities: stumps in parks and school grounds ground so they are not a trip hazard
