%X The paper analyzes the development and health condition of root system in European beech aged 8--10 years, planted in the Kru n¨¦ hory Mts. within the framework of reconstructions on plots prepared by various technologies before the establishment of substitute tree species stands. Root systems from natural regeneration in the Kru n¨¦ hory Mts. and beech trees planted in the Bohemian-Moravian Upland served as controls. Only a third of trees from the natural regeneration developed a taproot. Planted between non-spread mounds, all beech trees developed a superficial root system. In other stands, a half of the trees had a root system with substitute taproots and a half of the trees had a superficial root system. No material differences were found in the development of the root system between beech trees in the Kru n¨¦ hory Mts. and those in the Bohemian-Moravian Upland. Even in the Kru n¨¦ hory Mts., the beech can be regenerated on screened localities sized up to 0.50ha.
