This study was conducted to survey the insect pests on 30 varieties of Hibiscus syriacus. Insect pests were investigated on May, July and September in Suwon and Busan, respectively. In addition, change of insect pests on H. syriacus in Seoul was weekly investigated from May to September. As a result, 11 species 116 individuals were observed in Suwon, and 10 species of them were classified as insect pests. Also, 10 species 496 individuals were observed in Busan, and 7 species of them were classified as insect pests. In Seoul, 12 species 181 individuals were observed. Abundance and species richness of insect pests were depend of the study regions but not by H. syriacus varieties. Aphis gossypii was dominant in early May but they were dramatically disappeared since middle May. Other insect pests such as Rehimena surusalis, Haritalodes derogate, and Plautia stali were occurred from July to september.

The growth performance of Eastern white pine (Pinus storbus L.) was studied with six provenances in four plantations. All growth performances were significantly different among provenances and plantations. The most outstanding source in volume growth at age 39 is North Carolina in all plantations and this trends had been started from four years old seedlings. In plantations, the growth is best in ChunCheon plantation while that is worst in GunPo plantation. The Effect of plantations was thought to be larger than that of provenances growth of P. strobus. A pattern of growth by ages was different by among plantations and even ate age about 40, the growth was still vigorous. Annual precipitation, foggy days, altitude and sand contents in soil are positively correlated with growth and the correlations between by ages were very high.
