Tree care & clean-up in Polokwane: local notes
Syringa is the main invader along streams and on open ground near Westenburg and the Sand River, and its stumps resprout, so ask about treating them. Jacarandas in Ivy Park and Flora Park often need crown lifting and thinning. Near the Polokwane Game Reserve, keep clearing on your own side. Dry bushveld wood is sold widely as braai wood.
Trees in Polokwane
Polokwane stands on a high, dry plateau, and the bushveld reaches right into town. Marula, which is protected, grows on open land and in older yards, along with acacias, karee and wild seringa. Planted gardens carry jacarandas, pepper trees, bluegums and syringas, and syringa spreads easily into open land and stream banks. Rain comes in summer storms, and winters are dry and mild with little frost. The city is growing fast, so developers often need stands cleared, while homeowners want big trees off roofs and walls. Because marula and some other local trees are protected, check before clearing indigenous bush, and check the alien listing for syringa and gums.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Homeowners: taking down a big tree next to the house, pool or wall without damage
- Developers and building sites: taking down trees close to existing buildings on a site before construction
- Businesses and commercial property: sectional removal over car parks, roofs and shopfronts, often out of hours
