Trees in Western Cape
Cape Town and the Winelands carry a heavy load of old planted trees: English oaks in Stellenbosch and the Southern Suburbs, umbrella-shaped stone pines, tall bluegums and Monterey pines on the mountain slopes. Port Jackson and rooikrans spread across the Cape Flats and coastal sand, and pines invade fynbos. Rain comes in winter on the north-westers, which bring down shallow-rooted trees on soft ground, while the summer south-easter dries everything out and fans fires. Homeowners and estates ask for sectional felling, crown reduction of oaks and pines, and invader clearing on plots and farms. Heritage areas, estates and the municipality may have their own rules on removal, so check with them before work starts.
