It was introduced accidentally into North America in 1909, where it is an invasive species causing serious damage to the American white pines, which have little or no resistance to it. Mortality is particularly heavy in Western White Pine, Sugar Pine, Limber Pine and Whitebark Pine. Efforts are under way to select and breed the rare resistant individuals of these species; research is concentrated at the United States Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center in Oregon.
