This fungal disease was accidentally introduced from Europe into North America , where it has caused severe mortality in the American native white pines in many areas, notably the closely related whitebark pine . Siberian pine is of great value for research into hybridisation and genetic modification to develop rust resistance in these species. In

It often reaches the alpine tree line in this area. The mature size is up to 30–40 m height, and 1.5 m trunk diameter. Its maximum lifetime is 800–850 years.
