Description
Chinese Honey at Dongnakdang House is about 470 years old, with height of 14.5m and girth of 4.9m. This tree grows in Dongnakdang House of Oksanseowon Confucian Academy. As the tree is not in good condition, only the trunk and two branches are alive. It is said that the tree has been planted by Lee Eon-jeok in the 27th year of King Jungjong. When he resigned from government service and returned to his home to devote himself to his studies at Dongnakdang House, he received a seed of this tree from a friend who had been to China as an envoy. Since the Chinese Honey at Dongnakdang House is biologically valuable, it is designated and protected as a natural monument.
