C251: Thuja koraiensis

Thuja koraiensis, also called Korean arborvitae, is a species of Thuja, native to Korea and the extreme northeast of China (Changbaishan). Its current status is poorly known; the small population in China is protected in the Changbaishan Nature Reserve, as is the small population in Soraksan Nature Reserve in northern South Korea, but most of the species' range in North Korea is unprotected and threatened by habitat loss

The foliage has a particularly pleasant aroma – ‘rich fruit cake with plenty of almonds’, according to Mitchell (1972).

Recorded in 2018 as a UK Champion Tree
