What to know locally in Midrand
Vorna Valley and Noordwyk gardens were planted in the 1980s and 1990s, and many trees are now too big for their stands. Crown reductions and lifting limbs off roofs and gutters are the usual jobs. Along the Jukskei and in the open spaces near Halfway House, wattle and poplars spread quickly, and alien tree removal there needs follow up because they sprout again from stumps and roots.
What grows around Midrand
Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria on land that was farms and smallholdings not long ago, and the trees still show it. Windbreaks of bluegums, rows of pines and old poplars along the Jukskei and its tributaries stand beside new office parks and estates. Waterfall and Carlswald are being built up fast, so developers ask for stands to be cleared, while the horse farms and plots of Kyalami and Glen Austin need gums felled away from stables and paddocks. Summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail are fierce on this open high ground, and wind takes out shallow rooted trees on newly cleared land. Check whether any indigenous tree on a development site is protected before it is removed.
Who asks for tree pruning around Midrand, most often first:
- Developers and building sites: pruning trees kept on a site so they survive the building work
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping old trees in common areas healthy with a planned pruning cycle
- Homeowners: deadwooding old shade trees and pruning fruit trees so they stay safe and productive
Local tips for Midrand
Common here: clearing gum and pine windbreaks on plots and development stands. Ask each team or supplier about this: ask whether the gum wood will be cut into logs for firewood or taken off the plot. Where they work from: tree fellers on Kyalami and Glen Austin plots; hire yards along the Old Pretoria Road.
Tree Pruning usually suits shade trees, fruit trees and young trees, done like this: collar cuts, deadwooding and thinning. For developers and building sites, the biggest group here, that usually means pruning trees kept on a site so they survive the building work. On the weather side: exposed high ground; storms and lightning hit tall gums, wind topples edge trees.
