Best Answer

Juniperus tibetica is the highest tree species ever found in the northern hemisphere and Himalayas. It is located in southeastern Tibet at a maximum elevation of 16,000 ft. or 4,900 meters.

Generally, the treeline in other parts of the Himalayas ranges around 12-12,500 ft. or 3,700 meters.

There is some variation, depending on exactly which part of the Himalayas is being referred to.
