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.
