Abstract
The establishment of naturalisation attempts with the North American Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) has a history of almost 60 years in Hungary. The ecological requirements of this species are balanced, humid climates and it is not suitable for establishing new afforestation under marginal site conditions. Eastern white pine stands established in the Trans-Tiszanian region, mainly near Debrecen, belong to yield classes IV and V based on the yield table of the Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Their volume for a given age does not differ significantly from that of the Scotch pine stands. Eastern white pine stands mixed with northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) and Scotch pine did not produce any surplus yield of practical importance. Even taking into account the negative effects of local climate change, the potential for the cultivation of Eastern white pine in the studied area is not promising.
