A tree line is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. A tree line is different from a timberline. A timberline, often called a forest line, is the line where trees form a forest with a closed canopy.
a tree?
The climate above the tree line is characterized by low temperatures, strong winds, and limited precipitation. Vegetation is scarce due to the harsh conditions, with only low-lying plants, mosses, and lichens able to survive in this environment. The tree line marks the altitude beyond which trees are unable to grow due to these extreme conditions.
Usually, people who ask this question really want the answer to a different question -- can I trim a tree that encroaches into my land, can my neighbor cut down a tree that is on our mutual property line, can I take down a tree on my neighbor's land that poses a risk to my house? I point this out not to sound like a jerk, but only because the legal answer to "who owns the tree" doesn't usually answer the (real, underlying) question. Where a person plants a tree on his/her property that grows into a neighbor's property, the tree still "belongs to" the person who planted it. When nobody knows who planted a tree, the tree usually (that is, in most states) "belongs to" the neighbor on whose property most of the tree is now located. However, whenever a tree crosses property lines, whether it is the roots or the branches or the trunk that cross the line, the person on each side of the line can pretty much do whatever he/she wants to the tree on his/her side. Think of your property line as a geometric plane that extends up into the sky and down into the ground. If you don't like the branches on your side of the plane, you can cut them, no matter who "owns" the tree. If you don't like the roots on your side of the plane, you can grind them up. As a practical matter, this rule means that whenever one neighbor wants a boundary tree taken down, it will be coming down, because even if the tree-loving neighbor does not agree to have the work done (which is important - it means that most arborists will not agree to do the work), the tree-hating neighbor can still do enough violence to the tree on his/her side of the line that the tree will soon die and need to be removed. If you're in Massachusetts and have a boundary or other real estate question, call the Law Office of David R. Baron in Boston.
The highest altitude or latitude where trees can grow is called the tree line or timberline. This is the point where environmental conditions become too harsh for tree growth, such as low temperatures, high winds, or lack of nutrients. Above this line, only smaller vegetation like shrubs and grasses can survive.
No. Depending upon latitude, there is an elevation above which trees do not grow. This is referred to as "the tree line", as in: "Our backpacking club hiked a trail that took us above the tree line".See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:
A tree line is a boundary such that trees no longer on one side of it. Often, the tree line is the maximum altitude at which trees grow.

A real tree usually has none.

Tree forest
"Tree line" used in the sense of terrain, is where trees start or stop growing. Above the tree line it is too cold and rocky, below the treeline is savannah.
The feline made a beeline for the tree line to act as a point of reference.

Above a certain elevation, temperatures are too low for plants or trees to grow. The climate above the tree line is like a tundra. Only low plants, mosses, and lichens can grow there. That is a tree line.
