Best Answer

The main alpine forest in New Zealand is the beech forest. This is mainly mountain beech (Nothofagus solandri var. cliffitoides), but also includes black, red and silver beech (Nothofagus solandri, fusca, and menziesii).Other alpine trees include mountain cedar (kaikawaka) and mountain totara.

New Zealand alpine forests are at relatively low altitudes, generally 1200-1500m is the upper limit, and scrub (low bushy plants) or tussock grasses are found at higher altitudes. The low treeline is thought to be a result of the relatively recent geological uplift of the New Zealand mountains and the isolation of New Zealand from other alpine environments, where more specialized high altitude trees have developed.

New Zealand forests are evergreen.
