Disadvantages: Relatively high water requirement, young trees are sensitive to frost

LARCH
(Larix decidua)
The second most produced seedling in Germany
Soil conditions: Grows well on well-drained, acidic to neutral soils
Altitude: 0 to 2,400 meters above sea level
Advantages: Fast growth, good wood quality, high ecological value, adaptable to changing conditions
Disadvantages: Susceptible to diseases, needs a lot of light, requires intensive care for seedling formation

FIR
(Pinus sylvestris)
Soil conditions: Grows on a wide range of soils, especially sandy, dry to moderate soils in moist locations
Altitude: Near sea level to about 2,500 meters above sea level
Advantages: High adaptability, economic value, ecological importance
Disadvantages: susceptibility to disease, fire hazard, potentially invasive

HEMLOCK
(Tsuga spp.)
Soil conditions: Prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soils
Altitude: Near sea level to about 900 meters above sea level
Advantages: Shade tolerant, aesthetically pleasing, soil stabilizing. Disadvantages: Susceptible to diseases, high moisture requirements, slow growth

ATLAS CEDAR
(Cedrus Atlantica)
Soil conditions: Tolerates a wide range of soil types, but prefers deep, well-drained soils with alkaline or neutral pH
Altitude: Grows at altitudes from sea level to about 2,000 meters above sea level
Advantages: Robust against drought, durable and aromatic wood, decorative appearance
Disadvantages: Slow growth, young trees are sensitive to frost, need a lot of space to grow

COASTAL FIR
(Abies grandis)
Soil type: Prefers fertile, moist and well-drained soils
Altitude: Near sea level to about 1,800 meters above sea level
Advantages: Fast growth, good wood, adaptable to changing climatic conditions
Disadvantages: Susceptible to diseases, large space requirement, high moisture requirement in the soil

SYCAMORE/MOUNTAIN MAPLE
(Acer Pseudoplatanus)
Soil type: Prefers fertile, well-drained and slightly moist soil; but is quite adaptable to different soil conditions
Altitude: Grows at altitudes of up to 2,000 meters above sea level
Advantages: Robust and durable, dense foliage provides shade and a cooling effect on the forest floor, very resistant to wind and weather
Disadvantages: Susceptible to fungal diseases such as rust and can be damaged by air pollution

SILVER FIR
(Abies Alba)
Soil type: Prefers deep, fertile and moist soils; adapts well to shady locations
Altitude: Thrives at altitudes of about 500 to 1,800 meters above sea level
Advantages: Durable, color tolerant, provides high quality wood, helpful in erosion control
Disadvantages: Susceptible to pests such as the spruce bark beetle, requires sheltered locations, sensitive to air pollution

OAK
(Quercus spp.)
Soil conditions: Oaks are very adaptable, but prefer deep, well-drained clay soils.
Altitude: Near sea level to about 1,200 meters above sea level
Advantages: durability, high wood quality, ecological value, climate resistant
Disadvantages: Slow growth, large space requirement, susceptibility to disease

EUROPEAN BEECH
(Fagus Sylvatica)
​
Soil Conditions: Prefers deep, loamy, moist, and nutrient-rich soils but is also adaptable to less ideal soil conditions.
Elevation: Thrives at elevations up to approximately 1,000 meters above sea level.
Advantages: Highly adaptable, provides high-quality wood, forms dense and shady forests.
Disadvantages: Particularly sensitive to severe frost when young and susceptible to beech bark disease and other fungal diseases.
