What to know locally in Northern Cape
In Kimberley, large pepper trees and gums in Belgravia and around the older mining streets near the Big Hole are often dead or hollow and come down in sections. Along the Orange River at Upington, Keimoes and Kakamas, fellers remove gums and dying shade trees from farm and vineyard edges. Near Kathu and Kuruman, any work around camel thorn needs a licence first, even for a single tree.
Northern Cape: trees, weather and gardens
Big skies, few trees and long distances shape tree work in the Northern Cape. The camel thorn, or kameeldoring, is the tree of the Kalahari around Kathu, Kuruman and Upington, and it is protected under the National Forests Act, as is the shepherd's tree: no cutting or pruning without a licence. In Kimberley and the Karoo towns, pepper trees, bluegums and old pines give shade on stands and church grounds, and some have grown huge. Mesquite has spread along dry riverbeds and farm roads in parts of the province. Heat, drought and strong wind weaken limbs, so requests are mostly for dead tree removal, invader clearing on farms and careful pruning, often with travel costs added.
The requests we see from Northern Cape usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: dead or unwanted trees near homesteads and sheds removed and the logs kept for firewood
- Homeowners: a tree lifting paving or overhanging the roof removed with the stump and wood cleared
- Schools, churches and municipalities: trees at schools, churches and cemeteries removed after the right approvals are in place
