The Wonderboom (Ficus salicifolia) is a species of evergreen fig that ranges from the KwaZulu-Natal midlands northwards to tropical East Africa, the Saharan mountains, Arabian Peninsula, and Iran. It grows especially on outcrops, rocky hillsides and along cliffs fringing water courses and may rarely grow up to 10 m (33 ft) tall, and acquire a leafy spreading crown.
