Tokai Arboretum, Protected arboretum on Constantiaberg slopes in Cape Town, South Africa.
The 14-hectare Tokai Arboretum contains over 274 tree species with 1555 individual trees, each labeled for clear identification and research purposes.
Joseph Storr Lister established this arboretum in 1885 as the first large-scale silviculture experimental station in the Cape Colony of South Africa.
The arboretum maintains a Gondwana Garden that replicates the plant environment of the Cape region from 100 million years ago.
Visitors can access the arboretum daily from 7:30 to 18:00 through the M3 highway south to Tokai Main Road, with entry based on donations.
The collection includes 28 trees that hold national height records for South Africa, featuring species from Turkey, Algeria, and Australia.
