#5

I'm pretty sure this is Bitter Cherry; prunus emarginata. Interesting tidbit: the bark of the cherry tree could be cut into strips and polished to a rich red, adding color into baskets woven by the Indians.
This 'nurse log' has an unusual number of salal (gaultheria shallon) bushes growing from it's top and sides.
