Roodepoort: trees, weather and gardens
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.
The requests we see from Roodepoort usually 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
