What to know locally in North West

What grows around North West
Much of North West is open thorn bushveld and maize land, broken by the Magaliesberg and the river valleys around Hartbeespoort, Brits and the Vaal. Farms often have long bluegum windbreaks and pepper trees round the homestead, while towns such as Potchefstroom and Rustenburg have older streets with mature exotic trees that have outgrown their pavements. Dry winters and hot summers stress trees, and summer storms then bring down weakened limbs. Smallholders and farmers ask for bush thinning, windbreak felling and clearing of stands, while homeowners in the dam and mining towns want trees off roofs and walls. Thorn trees near the Pilanesberg and Madikwe may include protected species, so check whether a tree is protected before you clear.
The requests we see from North West 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
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: stumps in shared gardens removed and the holes filled level for the landscapers
