1. Old and big pine trees (Pinus densiflora) for champion candidates in Korea are presented with an example of representative 24 pine trees elected. Informations for pine champion candidates have been received through a cooperation of provincial governments, and 24 of 94 total pine candidates were elected. Final determination of champion tree or trees will be decided by the results of the spot survey in the future. Together with pine trees the biggest specimens of Camellia japonica and Ehretia ovalifolia were reported from the southern islands. The author reported -that two old male trees of Osmanthus insularis of Chejudo would need female trees for their propagation and the same species of Koemundo failed to set fruit because of severe insect damage though both sexes exist there. 2.
