George notes on tree care & clean-up
Pine and gum branches over roofs in Blanco and Heatherlands are a steady trimming job, especially before the drier, windier months. Arborists in George also work on indigenous trees, lifting crowns rather than removing them. Clearing invasive pines, wattle and blackwood from properties on the forest edge towards Saasveld and along the Kaaimans and Touws rivers is ongoing. Pine offcuts burn fast and make good kindling.
What grows around George
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 chipping and mulching requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: chipping branches after trimming and spreading the mulch on beds and paths
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: chipping common area prunings on site and mulching gardens in the complex
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: chipping orchard prunings and windbreak branches into mulch for trees
