After fires.- were the trees fire-proofed at some time (trimming off lower branches ) city bowl and table mountain slopes

Stone pine fire hazard ??? Not a single tree burned! Higgovale is 99% foreigner /alien trees. Is any of its value directly due to the shady ambience of the trees....? (So these aliens are not quite that bad perhaps?)

Three lonely trees on Pipe track,- Camps Bay after the fire. The other trees that provided essential shade were removed. The pipe track is now almost impossible to walk. When the sun is going down over the sea and reflects off the sea the heat and rays strike double hard.

Fire Break of Foreigner trees! sure the residents of these Seapoint houses are very thankful for the foreigner tree fire break!

Foreigner tree fire break! OLD GROWTH BIG TREES. The fire here was a cooking furnace!
If the trees were not here one wonders what would have happened to these homes! Just like one wonders..(an old resident told me) what would have happened if the old growth tree firebreak that was on the mountain was left over the mountain!!
He says the fire would not have even reached Seapoint!
