This study analyses the performance of black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) seedlings planted in 2008-2009, of local origin, and those planted in 2023, with Austrian origins, on the waste dumps of the Recea Șuncuiuș Quarry in Bihor County. The survival rate of the seedlings was assessed, and their diameters and heights were measured across different slope categories. Preliminary results show that the seedlings planted in 2023 exhibit strong growth in both height and diameter, particularly on medium slopes. The overall survival rate of the seedlings planted in 2008-2009 was around 84%. The study also examines the impact of pests on the black pine stand on the Recea Quarry waste dump. Lastly, the health of the trees planted in 2008-2009 was assessed.
