What to know locally in Mpumalanga
Garden services in Mbombela suburbs such as Sonheuwel and West Acres prune mango, avocado and shade trees that grow quickly in the Lowveld heat. Along the Crocodile River and around Kaapsehoop, landowners clear bugweed, syringa and pine seedlings, and follow-up is part of the job. Gum and pine offcuts from escarpment farms are split and sold as firewood in Lydenburg and Dullstroom.
What grows around Mpumalanga
Two very different landscapes share this province. On the escarpment around Sabie, Graskop and Lydenburg, pine and eucalyptus plantations cover the hills, and their fringes creep into towns, farm roads and smallholdings. Down in the Lowveld, Mbombela, White River and Hazyview sit among mango, macadamia, avocado and litchi orchards, with warm, humid summers that make garden trees grow fast. The coal belt towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda get Highveld hail and hard winter frost. Work ranges from felling stray gums and pines near homes to orchard clearing, storm clean-ups and stump grinding. Check whether a tree is protected before clearing indigenous bush, and treat plantation edges as someone else's land until you know otherwise.
