Absolutely. When I was in Colorado I went across the Continental Divide and there were trees well above 10,000 feet. It depends on the temperature, the slope, amount of sun and shadow, and the latitude.
The tree line in Rocky Mountain National Park is about 11,500 on warmer southwestern slopes but drops to about 8,000 feet on the northern sides. The species of tree changes with the altitude. The toughest tree that I know of is the bristlecone pine, which often forms the upper boundary at elevations as high as 12,500 feet. These trees can live to be over 2,000 years old.

Yes, as long there is enough CO2 for the tree.
