Description
The Multi-stem Pine of Dokdong-ri, Gumi is a kind of pine tree but a little different from other kinds of pine trees in shape. With the tree branching into many pieces at the base, the main branch is indistinguishable from the branches. Its overall appearance also resembles an unfolded umbrella. The tree is about 400 years old, with height of 13.1m and girth of 4.05m. Legend has it that this tree has grown in this town since Angang No Clan moved in this town. Since the multi-stem pine of Dokdong-ri is biologically valuable and has been preserved well by our ancestors' care and concern for a long time, it is designated and conserved as a Natural Monument.
