The 1,000-year-old fig tree in the Wonderboom Nature Reserve is one of Pretoria's most famous natural landmarks. Known as the Wonderboom, this giant wild fig tree (Ficus salicifolia) has an expansive canopy that once covered a staggering area of 50 meters in diameter. Over the centuries, its branches have spread out and taken root, creating a forest-like grove of interconnected trees. The Wonderboom (Wonder tree) has stood for around a millennium, witnessing the passage of time and changes in the landscape, making it an iconic symbol of resilience and longevity.
The tree is not only significant due to its age and size but also holds cultural and historical importance. It is said that indigenous people once used the area around the Wonderboom for gatherings and rituals. The tree has survived natural disasters, including a devastating fire in the 19th century and the pressures of urbanization, thanks to conservation efforts that have preserved it within the nature reserve. Visitors to the Wonderboom Nature Reserve can view this ancient fig tree up close, explore the surrounding trails, and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the reserve, which also offers views of the Magaliesberg Mountains and historical ruins.
