Description
The Oriental Arborvitae grows in China and Korea. In Korea in particular, it grows in Danyang, Dalseong, Andong, Yeongyang, etc. These trees usually form a forest and the roots spread on the cliff. They are often planted around houses and towns to arrange the surroundings beautifully. The natural habitat of oriental arborvitae in Yeongyang is located on the cliff on the other side of Banbyeoncheon Stream. The height of these trees is 3 ~ 5 meters, and the diameter is about 10 centimeters. Other kinds of trees like golden rain tree are growing with these oriental arborvitaes. As the forest of the oriental arborvitae in Yeongyang is very valuable for academic research, it is designated and protected as a natural monument.
