National Hug a Tree Day: New Life for Plum Trees at Jim Crook’s Historic Orchard
Jim Crook was one year old in 1874 when his family began homesteading at English Camp, less than 2 years after the English Royal Marines departed. In his childhood, his family lived in its historic structures, which they helped maintain. Crook family friend, Jerry Jameson remembered that “Year after year the Crook family poured their love and sweat into the land and produced a very self sufficient farm. There were cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs. Apple and pear orchards, soft fruit of plum, prunes, peaches and apricots.” Jim Crook, who was a major supporter of our park’s creation, died shortly before it was formally created, but he had already sold much of his land to make our existence possible. His legacy lives on in the fruit trees that he planted and which our park’s staff loves enough to hug.
Jim Crook’s historic orchard is one of the many places visitors are welcome to forage fruit in our park. One person who loves these heirloom plum trees enough to hug them is Ranger Cyrus, an experienced forager who keeps tabs on their fruit. He has been known to bake cakes using Crook’s plums, can them, and bring bags of them to our visitor center to share with his friends and colleagues. One person who enjoyed this fruit last year was park volunteer, Liz Verdier, who liked the historic fruit so much that she successfully sprouted their pits after eating them. These seedlings are doing fabulously in her greenhouse and when the weather warms up, they will be planted at several residences on San Juan Island. If all goes according to plan, these plum trees will generate fruit for future generations of islanders who will likely want to hug these trees for their delicious produce and their links to our island’s history.

Our vision is for coast redwoods - our greatest ally against climate change - to once again flourish from Silicon Valley to the Pacific Ocean. For redwood forests to thrive in the Santa Cruz mountains, we must establish a large, interconnected, and protected network of healthy trees and streams, stretching across public and private lands.
