What to know locally in Mbombela

In the humid summer, chainsaw chains and air filters need more care, and full protective gear stays important even in the heat.
What grows around Mbombela
Mbombela sits in the warm Lowveld, and things grow fast here. Gardens fill with flamboyants, African tulip trees, jacarandas, palms, figs and strelitzias, and a tree that was pruned two years ago can be back over the roof. Around town, mango, avocado, litchi and macadamia orchards cover the hills, and bush on the granite koppies holds indigenous trees such as marula, which is protected. Humid summers bring heavy rain and storms that drop limbs on roofs and lines. Homeowners and estates ask for regular crown work and palm cleaning, farmers ask for orchard thinning and old tree removal, and developers clear bush on new stands. Check whether a tree is protected before you cut.
Typical wood chipper hire requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: chipping a big pile of prunings after the jacaranda or plane tree is cut back
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a day or two of chipping after the complex's annual tree trimming
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: clearing wattle and windbreak branches into chips over a long weekend
