Trees in Worcester
Worcester lies in the Breede Valley, ringed by mountains and surrounded by vineyards, fruit orchards and table grape farms reaching towards De Doorns, Rawsonville and Robertson. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are cold, with frost on the valley floor and snow on the peaks in some years. Trees in town include old pepper trees, oaks, jacarandas, gums and planes, many planted long ago and now large. On farms, the work is orchard removal before replanting, gum and poplar windbreaks, and clearing invasive trees along the Breede and Hex rivers.
