Felling & removal in East London: local notes
Stands in Beacon Bay and Bonnie Doon often slope into wooded river valleys, so felling there tends to be sectional, with careful rigging to keep timber out of the bush below. Old gums and Norfolk Island pines near houses in Vincent and Berea are common removals. Coral tree and fig stumps can be large; grinding takes them below ground, but surface roots may stay. On plots towards Gonubie, ask about clearing alien growth at the same time.
What grows around East London
East London is greener and wetter than much of the Eastern Cape coast, with subtropical bush in its river valleys and lush gardens in Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Vincent. The Nahoon, Buffalo and Gonubie rivers cut deep wooded valleys through the city, and many stands back onto them. Big coral trees, figs, Norfolk Island pines and old gums share gardens with fast exotic growth. Coastal storms and strong winds bring trees down every so often. Requests range from homes and complexes to schools, the harbour area and farms towards Qonce and Bhisho. Some coastal forest trees are protected and much of the valley bush is sensitive, so check before clearing a stand.
