I removed the following content:

But some of the trees have grown in Jeju island of South Korea which is the most sothern part of the Korean peninsula. However, the status of whole forest is not proven taken by Japanese or its territory. From this, it can be assumed that Torreya nucifera is also origin to Korea. (Cited to: p.482 , "우리가 정말 알아야 할 우리 나무 백 가지"(100 trees we should "really" know), 1995-2-28 ISBN 8932308306)

It seemed excessive and unnecessary, serving a nationalistic agenda uncalled for in an article on a plant. There's no need to bring politics and nationalism (and issues of national boundaries) into this. Trees and where they are native to has nothing to do with political boundaries, with cultural or military imperialism, with adamantly and valiantly defending Korean islands from any implication whatsoever that because a particular "Japanese" tree grows there that it could somehow be considered a "Japanese" island....
