Trees in Mahikeng
Mahikeng, the provincial capital, lies close to the Botswana border in dry bushveld. Indigenous trees such as camel thorn, which is protected, sweet thorn, karee and buffalo thorn grow on open land and in many older yards. Government buildings, schools and suburbs like Mmabatho carry planted jacarandas, pepper trees, cypresses and gums. Rainfall is lower than further east, summer storms are short and fierce, and drought can leave trees stressed and dropping limbs. Government departments, schools, churches and homeowners ask for dead tree removal, pruning over roofs and clearing of stands. Before cutting an indigenous thorn tree, check whether it is protected and whether a licence is needed.
