One of our locals, Patricia, commented on these trees a while back so I decided to take a look at them. They’re off Jamestown Road, which is where the early S’Klallam peoples bought back their original lands. There’s a line of these trees, all dead and standing.
Patricia wondered what kind of trees they were — someone she knows speculated that they are Garry Oaks. And she wondered what might have killed them.
The trees are all beyond a fence so there’s no getting up close and personal. I’ve seen others with similar form as I’ve driven in this region but not had an opportunity to stop and study.
I know I haven’t provided much to go on here, but is anyone else willing to venture a guess? Are there any locals care to weigh in?
