Cedrus deodara
Pakistan has conifer forests in most of the northern and north-western highlands. These occur from 1,000 to 4,000 m altitudes. Swat, Upper Dir, Lower Dir, Malakand, Mansehra and Abbottabad districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly North-West Frontier Province) are the main areas covered with coniferous forests. Pindrow fir ("Abies pindrow") and Morinda spruce ("Picea smithiana") occupy the highest altitudes, deodar ("Cedrus deodara") and blue pine ("Pinus wallichiana"), the intermediate heights, and chir pine ("Pinus roxburghii"), occupy the lower areas.
