🌲 What If You Could Grow a Tree That’s 600 Years Old?
The Jangipumsong Pine Seedling Project Has Begun
Imagine growing the child of a 600-year-old tree…
Right in your living room.
Sounds unbelievable, right?
But that’s exactly what we’re doing here in Korea.
🌱 From Protection to Participation
In Korea, ancient trees like the Jangipumsong pine have long been designated as Natural Monuments, strictly protected by law.
But here’s the thing—just protecting them isn’t enough anymore.
In May 2024, Korea introduced the National Heritage Act, opening the door to a new era.
Now, it’s not just about preserving heritage—it’s about growing it, living with it, and passing it on.
That’s why Green Fingers started a project to germinate seeds from one of Korea’s most legendary pine trees.
🍂 Our First Try Failed—But We Didn't Give Up
The Jangipumsong pine is over 600 years old.
Most pines don’t even live past 400.
We carefully collected its seeds in late 2023, just before the wind would carry them away.
The seeds were weak. We were new.
And sadly… the seedlings didn’t make it.
But we weren’t ready to let go of something this special.

We tried again.
And this time—it worked.
In 2025, the first healthy Jangipumsong seedlings were born.
They carry the DNA of a living Korean legend.
And yes, this whole project was fully approved by the Korean Cultural Heritage Administration and Boeun County Office.
🌿 Now It’s Your Turn to Grow History
We’re making it possible for people like you
to adopt these special pine seedlings as companion plants.
You could literally grow a living piece of Korean history.
The Jangipumsong Seedling Project is just getting started.
Are you ready to raise a tree that’s 600 years in the making?
