A red pine grows at the right valley on the way to Phojung from Phoha-ri, Myongchon County, North Hamgyong Province.
It is said that the tree was planted around 1630.
Locals call it an “umbrella pine” as its shape looks elaborate and elegant in all directions and resembles an umbrella.
The tree is 12 metres tall, 3.2 metres round at the root neck and 2.8 metres round at the chest height. Its crown is 15 metres wide from east to west and 18 metres wide from north to south.
With a straight trunk, it has branches stretching out at the height of five metres and hanging down close to the earth surface, thus its crown resembling a broad umbrella.
Its pinecones are characteristically small and have no seed.
For its peculiar, good-looking shape, the tree is of scenic value and academic significance. It is protected as a natural monument.
