It grows at elevations up to 4,500 m (14,800 ft). It frequently grows among scattered conifers, with an undergrowth of shrubs that typically includes evergreen &#039;&#039;[[Rhododendron]]&#039;&#039;. The tree depends on moisture from snowmelt, rather than from the monsoon rains. They often have very bent growth due to the pressure of the deep winter snow in the Himalaya.&lt;ref name=&quot;Elvin&quot;&gt;{{cite book |author1=Liu, Cuirong |author2=Elvin, Mark |title=Sediments of time: environment and society in Chinese history |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=Cambridge, UK |year=1998 |page=65 |isbn=0-521-56381-X |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SFfgk3pc5-gC&amp;pg=PA65}}&lt;/ref&gt; The Himalayan birch is the state tree of Pakistani state of [[Azad Kashmir]] {{refn|name=Gcounts|group=n|&#039;&#039;“The Official designated State tree and Awarded plant emblem of [[Azad Jammu and Kashmir]]” respectively&#039;&#039;}}.<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> {{reflist|group=n}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{biology-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Plants of Pakistan]]<br /> [[Category:Plants and animals of Kashmir]]<br /> [[Category:Betulaceae]]<br /> [[Category:Azad Kashmir]]<br /> [[Category:Symbols of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (Pakistan)]]</div>
