Rosebank and Wynberg now join Newlands, Rondebosch, Mowbray, Claremont, Kenilworth and Observatory as hotspot areas of the beetle outbreak.
This comes after the City of Cape Town, last month, issued a list of 28 recommended trees for residents who want to replace trees on their properties that have been infested with the invasive PSHB beetle.
According to Deputy Mayor and Mayco Member for Spatial Planning and Environment Eddie Andrews, residents in the hotspot areas could find the Tree Best Practice Guideline on the City website to determine which trees are best suited to their properties. ‘For more information on these trees, I also recommend asking advice from your local nursery or landscaper.’
