Pecanwood Forest

The pecan nut industry has its roots in Mpumalanga and KZN, but the core of the South African pecan industry today is north of the Orange River in the Vaalharts area, Hartswater, Prieska, Upington and Orania.

Irrigation schemes provide much needed water in these naturally dry, hot areas. Visit the pecan nut forest on the banks of the the Orange River, right next to the Upington Waterfront.
