What to know locally in Potchefstroom
Thinning, deadwooding and crown lifting are the main jobs for oaks in the older streets, and topping only weakens them. Willows and poplars along the Mooi River and around the Lakeside area need regular cutting back, and invaders on the banks need follow-up. Fallen leaves in autumn bring steady garden refuse work in Grimbeek Park.
Potchefstroom: trees, weather and gardens
Potchefstroom is known for its oak-lined avenues, many of them planted long ago and now huge. Around the university, the older suburbs and along the Mooi River, oaks, plane trees and willows give the town its shade. Old trees come with old problems: heavy limbs, rot in the trunk, roots lifting paving and acorn and leaf drop on roofs. The Mooi River banks also carry invaders that need control. Summers bring thunderstorms, and winters are cold with frost. Residents, students' landlords, churches and schools ask for pruning, deadwooding and safety checks more than outright removal. Street oaks belong to the municipality, and heritage areas may have their own rules, so ask before cutting.
