What to know locally in Tzaneen
Macadamia and avocado growers around Duiwelskloof and Politsi prune to keep trees open and pickable. Garden trees near the Letaba River grow quickly and need regular thinning. Wattle, gum and pine seedlings spread into kloofs around Magoebaskloof, so follow-up clearing matters. Chipped orchard prunings make useful mulch between rows, and some growers in Letsitele leave them to break down under the trees.
Tzaneen: trees, weather and gardens
Tzaneen sits in a warm, green valley below the escarpment, surrounded by orchards and plantations. Mango, avocado, litchi, macadamia, banana and citrus farms run along the Letaba River valley, and pine and gum plantations climb the hills towards Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof. In town, gardens grow fast, with figs, palms, jacarandas and flamboyants. Heavy summer rain and humidity drive quick regrowth, and storms can bring down shallow-rooted trees on wet ground. Farmers ask for old orchard blocks to be removed and windbreaks cut back, homeowners for crown work and palm cleaning, and plantation edges for trees threatening houses and roads. Check the alien listing for pines and gums outside plantations.
