Yes, Arbutus menziesii. aka madrona. No arborist had anything to do with 
its "modification" rather a hack with a chainsaw removed some of the 
most photogenic limbs for out own protection. rolleyes gif:  The madrona 
and red alder forests around here aren't climax forest.  That would be 
doug fir mostly and a bit of oak savanna. The doug fir was originally 
cut for the lime kilns and for steamers with some going to lumber.
