This study explored the growing potentials of native broadleaf tree species planted in various reclaimed areas of the previous land uses. Data were sampled from three regions at the Dongshih Forestry Culture Park, the NTU Experimental Forest, and the Nantou Forest District Office, including land uses of high-elevation reclaimed orchards, mid-elevation reclaimed bamboo forests, low-elevation reclaimed tea plantations, betel nut plantations, and orchards. The analysis focused on three afforestation tree species, namely, Fraxinus griffithii, Quercus glauca, and Zelkova serrata. Results showed that elevation and former land use affected the growth of the three tree species differently. The growth of F. griffithii on former tea plantations was better than on former betel nut plantations, and the worst was on former bamboo forests. The growth of Q. glauca was well regardless of the elevation and the type of former land use, so it is suitable for rehabilitating different former land uses. Lastly, the growth of Z. serrata was not affected by the type of former land use, but the average tree height was slightly reduced with increasing elevation, so it is also suitable for reforestation.
