The Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer Beetle (PSHB) is invading and poses a threat to our exotic and indigenous trees in the City of Cape Town.The beetle most likely spread through the movement of infested wood, originating from dead or dying PSHB infested trees, including wood to be used for cooking or heating. The beetle is the size of a sesame seed, approximately 2mm in length, and it often targets threatened trees across South-Africa.This dataset aims to track the extent to which this beetle has invaded and its spread over time in the City of Cape Town. |
