It’s growth pattern is also unusual: as its branches grew longer, they drooped towards the ground and eventually took root and formed a circle of new trunks or daughter trees around the original tree. There are now a total of 13 trunks and the colossal tree covers an area with a diameter of 55 metres! | The Wonderboom is a unique 1000 year old fig tree found North of the Magaliesberg Mountains in Pretoria.
