Wonderboom Nature Reserve (original) (raw)
The Wonderboom Nature Reserve (Afrikaans: Wonderboom-natuurreservaat) is a 1 km², 200-hectare reserve that incorporates a section of the Magaliesberg range in the northern portion of the Pretoria metropole, South Africa. Its main attractions are the Wonderboom (Afrikaans for "Marvel tree") near the reserve entrance in Lavender street and the derelict Fort Wonderboompoort on the crest of the Magaliesberg, that was constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century, during the Second Boer War. The latter is reached by following the steep, paved walkway that leads from the picnic area to the summit. The vicinity of the fort ruins also afford sweeping views of the city, whose council declared the area around the Wonderboom and both banks of the Apies River a reserve on 28 December 1949.

| dbo:abstract | Der Wonderboom (afrikaans für „Wunderbaum“) ist ein mehr als 1000 Jahre alter Feigenbaum im Norden von Pretoria in Südafrika. Seine Besonderheit besteht darin, dass seine herunterhängenden Äste an den Stellen, an denen sie den Boden berührt haben, neue Wurzeln ausgebildet haben, so dass sich ein Kreis von „Tochterstämmen“ gebildet hat. Der Prozess hat sich fortgesetzt. Der ursprüngliche Stamm, der einen Durchmesser von 5,5 Metern hat, wird heute von zwölf weiteren Stämmen umgeben. Insgesamt hat der Baum einen Durchmesser von 50 bis 60 Metern und eine Höhe von 23 Metern – ungewöhnlich für diese Spezies, die sonst selten höher als zehn Meter wird. Der Wonderboom wächst am nördlichen Fuß der Magaliesberge, etwa 500 Meter östlich der Stelle, an der diese vom durchquert werden. Um den Baum herum befindet sich ein kleines Naturreservat, das Wonderboom Nature Reserve. Seinen Namen hat der Baum seit 1836, als er von Voortrekkern unter Andries Hendrik Potgieter entdeckt wurde.
