Oaks along Paarl streets and on farm avenues near Dal Josafat need deadwooding and crown thinning more often than felling. Arborists like to prune in winter, when the leaves are off and the crown is easy to read. Black wattle, Port Jackson and gums choke stretches of the Berg River, and clearing them is ongoing for landowners in Wellington and Paarl. Oak and gum offcuts make good braai wood once seasoned.
What grows around Paarl
Paarl stretches along the Berg River below Paarl Rock, with a long main street lined in places by old oaks. Wine and fruit farms surround the town towards Wellington, Simondium and Groot Drakenstein, each with oak avenues, gum windbreaks and stone pines around old homesteads. Summers are hot and dry with the south-easter, and winters bring rain and north-west storms. Farmers ask for windbreaks and invasive trees along the river to be cleared, while homeowners want big oaks and pines brought under control. Many of the oaks are ageing and prone to dropping limbs. Heritage areas in parts of town may have their own rules, so ask before cutting a historic tree.
