Hinds Walnut
Posted on: September 24th, 2011 in Heritage Tree Details |
Juglans hindsii
This tree was notable for its size, age and that it is not native to Oregon. Its location was a probable Indian camping and fishing ground where migrating salmon were abundant and accessible. It predates the arrival of settlers and may have sprouted from a cast-off nut. Unfortunately, the tree died on November 11, 2017 when it collapsed into the highway.
