Kochia, commonly known in Korea as “daepssari,” is a familiar plant traditionally used to make brooms from its dried stems. As early autumn arrives, the chlorophyll content of Kochia decreases and the anthocyanin pigments increase sharply, causing its leaves and stems to turn red more quickly than other plants. When its autumn colors reach their peak, the plant takes on an intense fiery red hue, earning it the nickname ‘Burning Bush.’

Currently, the Sky Garden Trail at Everland is adorned with Kochia turning red, blended together with a variety of other trees and plants to create a breathtaking scene.

An Everland official stated, “Starting with the Kochia, various trees such as maples and ginkgoes across the theme park will sequentially change color from the end of this month through early next month, marking the official beginning of the autumn foliage season.”
