West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

There grows a female gingko tree in Honam-ri, Yonan County, South Hwanghae Province.

A male tree is growing 70 metres away from it.

The Yonan gingko tree growing near the west coast of Korea was planted around 1230 and used by boatmen to tie ships.

It is 19 metres tall, 8.5 metres round at the root neck and 8 metres round at the chest height, and its crown is 16.5 metres across.

Many branches spread out at the height of two metres from the lower part of the tree.

Despite the old age, it grows well and has a number of new shoots on its lower part.

As it adds much to the scenery of the seaside village and is an old tree, it is under good protection as a natural living monument.
