What to know locally in Limpopo
On fruit farms around Tzaneen, Letsitele and the Groot Letaba valley, old mango and avocado blocks are felled whole and the stumps pulled before replanting. In Polokwane suburbs such as Bendor and Fauna Park, gums and syringas are taken down in sections beside walls. Bush clearing near Lephalale and Hoedspruit usually means a site walk first, because protected trees among the mopane must be marked and left.
What grows around Limpopo
Limpopo is hot, dry bushveld for most of the year, with green pockets in the mist belt above Tzaneen and around Thohoyandou. Marula, mopane, knob thorn and the occasional baobab grow on farms and plots, while mango, avocado, litchi and macadamia orchards line the valleys of the Letaba and the far north. Thunderstorms arrive in summer after long dry spells, and drought can leave big trees brittle. Work is often on game farms, lodges and fruit farms: clearing for roads and fences, thinning bush, and removing old orchard trees. Several indigenous trees here are protected, including marula, leadwood, shepherd's tree and baobab, so check whether a tree is protected and get a licence first.
