Abstract A trial demonstrating an establishment and maintenance technique forPinus caribaea var hondurensis in an agroforestry land use system on the Atherton Tableland, north east Australia, is described. The establishment of the tree component involves mechanical cultivation and the application of herbicides which in combination are technically feasible and acceptable to a landholder who wishes to integrate pine trees and pasture grasses. The cost of establishment and maintenance of the pines up to age 39 months was calculated at $A809 ha−1 (1986 values). This includes the cost of thinning. The sale of some thinnings for Christmas trees realised a net profit of $A564 from 300 trees ($A188 ha−1). At age 38 months the stand had a stocking of 254 trees ha−1, a mean height of 6 m and a mean diameter at breast height of 12.1 cm. The growth compares favourably with other plantation grownPinus caribaea var hondurensis on the Atherton Tableland.
