Description

From ancient times, Joseon as an agrarian society engaged in sericulture, as reflected in the term 'nongsan' (agriculture and mulberry cultivation). Growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms to produce silk was among the most important state activities during the Joseon Dynasty. The Sangju Dugok-ri Mulberry Tree is a rare old-growth mulberry with well-maintained aesthetic form, vigorous growth producing abundant fruit annually, and high folkloric and scholarly value due to its close relationship with Korean lifestyle. As an indicator of historical sericulture prosperity in the Sangju region, it possesses significant historical value and is designated and protected as a natural monument.
