Description
While the Korean plum-yem seldom surpasses 3m in height, this one at the Yungneung Royal Tomb stands 4m tall, measuring 80cm in girth, making it the tallest as well as the largest tree of its kind in Korea. The tree appears to have been planted at the time of the construction of the shrine at this grave yard. A representative specimen of this species, in excellent health, it also has a great historical and cultural significance, being a part of Yungneung. * Yungneung: The couple grave belonging to Prince Sado and his wife Lady Hong (Historic Site)
