Here's one - think I've figured out its cause. It's about 100 feet away from the biggest Sitka spruce in the USA, near Seaside, Oregon.

That's my son.

Some similarities in skin and eye color

He's also iin this image of a fallen tree at Ecola State Park at Oregon's oceanside.

Some of these images were taken in the winter, and with clouds at the ocean, plus the mist and fog, many photos are a bit darker like B&W - almost cloaks the color.

I find that many trees I see, and some of my photos, have clues. The curved tree trunk in the image, was alive when the massive tree was still upright. You can tell from the small tree's lower trunk, that it was relatively aligned with the big tree. Then the big tree uprooted the small one and tilted it, then the little guy curved upward with new growth.

On the other hand, the other small trees growing in the rootball, germinated and grew after the big tree fell. The curved one probably wasn't any bigger than a 4" stem when the big tree fell, is my guess.

It was a Sitka spruce - one of the bigger types of trees on the Oregon coast. Western hemlock is another big conifer near the ocean.

About 6 miles from that fallen log in the image of my last reply, was the previous image I posted where my son was standing under the divided trunk. And about 100 feet from that divided trunk tree, is the largest Sitka spruce in the USA, which you may have seen on my images page....

See first image with deck protecting root zone.

And 200 feet from it, a substantial hemlock, our son and friend hugging - see 2nd image...

Here is an Albizia saman sleeping on the job, as some of you know I have a bit of a thing about these trees, quess because they're the closest thing to a Chestnut or Oak we get up here in the tropics.

Don't know the full story with this one but using common sense and a little local knowledge I think the tree was blown over in 74' when they had Cyclone Althea up here, so we're looking at around 33yrs of reorganised growth from the altered orientation. There are some very large injuries on the main limbs now resting on the ground off which the new canopy has sprung.

Lying down


Close up of the main limbs once vertical now resting on the ground



View from inside the yard, BTW I don't think the swing set gets used all that often.


Amazing tree eh? Would love to airspade along the resting limbs just to see if they have rooted I believe they have.


Maybe we should start a thread to our own local champions, they don't need to be size champions (though thats great too) just our local trees that move us in some way, trees we love looking at you know..

That's wierd alright, like some bad sci-fi tree. I too would like to see beneath if they have rooted or decayed or what.

Just get their hose with a nozzle and all that nice soft soil can be washed away and we have a look ... or forever wonder what lies beneath.
