Tree care & clean-up in Roodepoort: local notes

Around Florida Lake and Kloofendal, syringas and wattle spread into open ground, and alien tree removal needs follow up because both resprout from stumps. Estates in Ruimsig and Wilgeheuwel book trimming of common area trees, often before the storm season. Pruning should be cutting just outside the branch collar, not topping. Ask for the branches to be chipped and taken away or left as mulch.

Trees in Roodepoort

Roodepoort stretches from old mining ground around Florida and Maraisburg to the ridges and estates of Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Little Falls. The older side has bluegum rows on mine land and big pines in established gardens; the newer side has estates with small stands, imported garden trees and indigenous bush on the rocky ridges near the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden. Honeydew still has smallholdings with long gum windbreaks. Summer storms gather over the western ridges and hit here early, often with hail. Homeowners ask for trimming and felling in tight gardens, smallholders want gums cleared, and estates book trimming of common areas. Check whether trees on ridge stands are indigenous and protected before cutting.

Typical tree pruning requests in the area come from:

• Homeowners: deadwooding old shade trees and pruning fruit trees so they stay safe and productive
• Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping old trees in common areas healthy with a planned pruning cycle
• Farms, smallholdings and plantations: orchard pruning and deadwooding old windbreak trees near sheds and houses
