Equipment & supplies in George: local notes
George has tool hire shops and forestry and farm suppliers in its industrial area, with chainsaws, chains, chippers, stump grinders and protective gear. Many plantation contractors around George and Knysna run professional saws, so servicing is easy to find. Wet pine is sappy and gums up the bar, so clean chains often. For tall trees in Denneoord or Wilderness, a cherry picker needs firm ground, which can be scarce after rain.
George: trees, weather and gardens
George sits on a coastal plateau under the Outeniqua Mountains, where the Garden Route's indigenous forest meets large pine plantations. Rain falls in all seasons, so growth is steady and trees get big. Yellowwoods, stinkwoods and other forest trees grow in gardens and kloofs, and real yellowwoods are protected, so a licence is needed before cutting one. Pines, gums and blackwood planted around town spread into fynbos and forest edges, and several are listed invaders. Wildfires have hit the Garden Route before, and strong winds bring trees down. Homes, estates, farms and the timber trade all ask for tree work, and cutting pines back from houses is a common request.
Typical wood chippers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: turning hedge clippings and fruit tree prunings into mulch for beds and paths
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: chipping branches on site so the complex sends fewer loads to the dump
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: a PTO chipper for orchard prunings, wattle and windbreak trimmings
