Tree care & clean-up in Cape Town: local notes
Old oaks in Newlands and Rondebosch need regular deadwooding and thinning, and the shot hole borer beetle has affected trees in parts of the city, so ask an arborist to inspect a tree that is dying back. Homes on the slopes near Tokai and Hout Bay ask for pines and gums to be cut back from roofs before fire season. Garden refuse is usually chipped, or taken to a municipal drop-off site.
Cape Town: trees, weather and gardens
Cape Town's tree work follows its winds. Winter north-westers bring rain and gusts that topple shallow-rooted pines and gums on saturated ground, while the summer south-easter dries gardens and snaps brittle limbs. The southern suburbs hold old oaks, stone pines, camphors and planes, many planted generations ago and now huge over homes in Claremont, Rondebosch and Newlands. Port Jackson, rooikrans and pines invade the Cape Flats and mountain slopes, and clearing them reduces fire risk near homes in the dry season. Requests come from homes, estates, businesses in Century City and Montague Gardens, and developers. Heritage areas and street trees have their own rules, so check before cutting.
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
- Businesses and commercial property: on-site chipping at hotels and office parks to cut down refuse loads
