Twisted Trunks

I assume the wicked coastal winds have played a part in shaping these what I guess from the berries are Rowan trees (Mountain Ash)
Corrections please if my assumptions are wrong

Thanks to Sigwv for this additional information en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krummholz

Large for detail please.

Nothing like the Rowan in my reference book but I don't doubt your description as they could well have distorted by environmental factors. They make a great subject.

Many thanks Maurice, sigwv, say in his comments that environmental stress can be the cause.

Spectacular twisted trees. Environmental stress is no doubt a factor--botanists even use a German word, "Krummholz" (twisted wood) for such trees. It's very common near tree line around here.

Thank you for the interesting information Steve, a little further down the coast is a twisted woodland,

Here are some examples in the Sierra Nevada:
