Tree care & clean-up in Stellenbosch: local notes
Arborists in Stellenbosch spend much of their time inspecting and thinning old oaks in Idas Valley and the old town, removing deadwood before it falls on pavements and cars. Estates near Paradyskloof ask for pines and gums to be cut back from homes before fire season. Clearing wattle and pines along the Eerste River and its tributaries is ongoing. Chipped oak makes good mulch, but do not spread chips from infested trees.
What grows around Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is known for its oak-lined streets, and many of those oaks are now old and in decline. Dorp Street, the university area and the older town below Papegaaiberg carry big oaks and planes, while wine farms in the Jonkershoek and Banhoek valleys add stone pines, gum windbreaks and avenues. The polyphagous shot hole borer has been found in trees in the Western Cape, and dying oaks and other host trees are a concern for owners. Hot dry summers bring fire risk on the mountain edges. Requests come from homes, estates, the university, farms and businesses at Technopark. Heritage rules apply in the old town, so check before cutting.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Homeowners: braai wood and fireplace logs delivered and stacked before the winter cold
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: selling wood from cleared gums and wattle, or buying split wood for the house
