What plants grow on Mount Everest?
Few plants can grow/survive on the highest mountain in the world. Some trees can be found in the lower elevations, such as: primula dentculata, birch trees, blue pines, and Rhododendrons. The reason the plants can survive in the lower elevations is because it is much warmer and there is rarely ice. In the lower eastern half of the mountain, plants are more abundant, because precipitation is adequate. For example, a subtropical woodland, taira, can be found in that zone of Mount Everest. The highest elevation that plants can be found is approximately 3,700 feet. Slightly below that elevation coniferous forests exists. At the 3,700 feet point are small bushes and low grass.Because of the harsh conditions and the fact that practically everything is frozen, it is no surprise that very few plants are designed to survive and thrive in such conditions. However, one plant that has been found on Mount Everest is the Allium Hybrid.

Why aren't there any trees on Mars?
First, the temperature on Mars is very low (about -5 °C to -85 °C), and no trees can survive in such temperatures. Second, the air on Mars is very thin (even thinner than on the top of Mount Everest), which also makes it impossible for trees to grow. Third, there's no water there. And if there was, it would have been ice instead of water. As you might know, trees (and all other living creatures for that matter) need water to survive. Fourth, there's (almost) no ozone layer on Mars, making all life vulnerable to deadly radiation.

How do Birch Trees survive in cold weather?
Birch trees are adapted to winter much like other trees. The damage normally caused by the harsh weather is mitigated most notably by the dropping of leaves. As well, they can enter a state much like hibernation in bears, changing at the cellular level and taking advantage of the energy released from freezing water to survive through the winter.
