Felling & removal in Eastern Cape: local notes
In Walmer, Newton Park and Mill Park, old pines and gums lean after years of wind, so fellers often take them down in sections over walls and roofs. Around Nahoon and Beacon Bay in East London, storm-damaged trees are cleared from steep gardens near the river. On farms near Stutterheim and Cathcart, wattle and gum stands are felled whole and the stumps treated to stop resprouting.
Eastern Cape: trees, weather and gardens
The Eastern Cape runs from Karoo plains to green coastal hills, and its tree problems change along the way. Black wattle has spread across the Amathole and the former Transkei, choking streams and grazing, while Port Jackson and rooikrans grow thick on coastal dunes near Gqeberha, Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred. Older suburbs in Gqeberha, East London and Makhanda have big pines, gums and Norfolk pines that the wind works on all year, and berg wind days bring dry heat and fire risk. In the Karoo towns, pepper trees shade the stands. Farmers ask most for invader clearing, while town owners want wind-damaged limbs and leaning trees taken down. Check the listing for your tree and area first.
The requests we see from Eastern Cape usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: gum and wattle stumps dug out of fields and treated to stop them resprouting
- Homeowners: an old stump dug out so a new bed, lawn or paving can go in
- Schools, churches and municipalities: stumps at schools, parks and cemeteries removed so they are not a trip hazard
