A Magnolia obovata community spreads over a hillock, 500 metres above sea level, in Sakju County, North Phyongan Province.

The surrounding area is a plant reserve established to specifically protect and propagate Magnolia obovata , a species belonging to the southern part of the temperate zone. It is densely wooded with such tall trees as oak, black walnut and linden, as well as shrubs and vines.

The Magnolia obovata community dates back to around 1930.

Magnolia obovata species was extensively planted in accordance with the nature conservation policy of the DPRK. It covers an area of about two hectares.

Its average height is 22-25 metres, with 81-82 cm round at root neck and 20-25 cm across at chest height. It blooms in mid-May and its fruit ripens early in October. It produces about 10 kg of seeds.

The Magnolia obovata community in Sakju grows in the northernmost part of Korea among the same species in the country. The Sakju community is a natural monument of great significance in ecological study and landscaping.
