As saplings they were broken at the base, but survived and grew up into the monoculture you have there, growing straight upright to compete for light.

Thanks SeanB.......well....I'm convinced !...sounds perfectly reasonable to me. What kind of trauma would they all received to create such synchronicty do ewe think?

[SeanB]

Heavy wind in a storm is most likely.

Or a flood perhaps?  Maybe they were designed as seats for trolls or upside-down walking sticks or shepherds crooks for giant trolls ?

[Geezer]

Obviously they got all banjaxed when a flying saucer tried to land there.

That's always amazed me, why would vastly technologically superior aliens come all the way to Earth only to crash, on multiple occasions seemingly.

Seen very similar on steep hillsides, where the soil is creeping/ sliding downwards and the trees try to compensate...
