Mthatha notes on tree care & clean-up
Trimming in Mthatha is often for schools, clinics and churches where branches hang over roofs and paths. Crews working around Northcrest and Fort Gale cut back heavy limbs before the summer storm season. Wattle spreads fast along the Mthatha River and streams towards Tsolo, and clearing it is regular work. Felled gum is valued as firewood here; agree beforehand who keeps the logs and whether they are cut to length.
Mthatha: trees, weather and gardens
Mthatha is the main centre of the former Transkei region, set on the Mthatha River among rolling grassland hills. Bluegums, pines and wattle were planted widely around homesteads, schools, missions and old woodlots, and many of those trees are now tall, heavy and close to buildings. Summer brings thunderstorms with lightning and strong wind, while winters are cool and dry. Requests come from homeowners in town, schools, churches, clinics and government buildings, and from families in surrounding villages clearing trees near houses and kraals. Much work is outside the city, so travel adds to the cost. Wattle and gums are often listed invaders, so check the listing for your tree and area.
