Origin/meaning
The arms are not officially granted.
The arms show the Wonderboom ('miracle tree') after which the are is named. The Wonderboom is a unique 1000 year old fig tree found North of the Magaliesberg Mountains in Pretoria. The tree, now a national monument, is unusually large, standing some 25 metres high and having a 5,5 metre diameter main trunk. 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!
