１９９２年１月对新西兰东木山树木园引种栽培的近１００种（５０科５５属）中国原产树种的生长量调查分析表明：引入地与原产地具有相似的气候条件，尤其是从夏雨型环境向冬雨型环境引种树种，是引种成功的主要原因。具有相同起源的植物区系、土壤某些性质（ｐＨ值）相似及树种所具有的生物学和生态学的潜在适应力（生长潜势）也是引种成功的重要因素。

Based on the survey of near 100 introduction woody species native to China in Eastwoodhill Arboretum, New Zealand in 1992, it showed that the successful introduction resulted in the similar climatic condition of Chinese original regions and Eastwoodhill, of which the introduction from summer rainfall region to winter rainfall area is the main factor, the same
original flora and similar pH of soil of two regions and the biological and ecological potential adaptation of species are also important elements for good cultivation.
