Description
The Chinese Juniper grows on Ulleungdo Island, in the mid-southern part of Korea, and in Japan. Since Chinese Juniper has a strong smell, this tree is used as incense for ceremonies and it is often planted in the garden or in the park. The Chinese Juniper of Jangjeon-ri stands beside the tomb of Yeongyang Nam Clan. It is about 400 years old, with height of 7.4m and girth of 4.2m and its trunk is divided into four. Although this tree is small, it has a thick trunk and the branches of this tree spread nicely. Since the Chinese Juniper of Jangjeon-ri is biologically valuable and has been preserved well by our ancestors for a long time, it is designated and protected as a Natural Monument.
