The largest and the oldest fruit bearing tree in the world is located in Korea, known as the gingko tree. It was planted in the 10th century by a Shilla prince on the temple grounds of Yongmunsa Temple. Its trunk circumference is 54 feet and its height is 175 feet.
Another unusual tree besides the gingko, which is seen throughout the peninsula, is the paulownia tree. Its large leaves and vivid purple flowers make it attractive and distinctive.
