Chongbaek Juniper growing in Chongbaek-ri, Kumya County, South Hamgyong Province was planted around 1550. It is 10 meters tall, with the root collar of 5.4 meters round and the canopy of 18 meters from east to west and 21 meters from north to south.
At the height of 50 centimeters, it spreads in three big branches that are 2.6 meters, 2.1 meters and 2.2 meters round, respectively.
It looks like a collection of small clouds from a short distance and like a large furled umbrella from a long distance.
The oldest and largest tree on the eastern coast is a natural monument that is significant for studying the size and age of juniper trees and adds beauty to this area.
