It appears they were girdled for some reason.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Girdled - Not by beaver most certainly!

Tordon can be that blue color. It is used to kill woody plants.

It replicates natural dead standing trees that are important to woodpeckers flying squirrels and bats that like to hide behind the loose bark . I t also dosnt clutter up the ground story as bad as cutting them .It makes for a very haxardous woods in about 3 years as they shed branches every time you bump one it makes driving a tractor in the woods VERY VERY DANGEROUS . Leaving them Stand also reduces light shock to to species like walnut and hickory that have a tendancy to pin out (grow small limbs on the lower trunk] if the understory is cut completely away. The standing skeletons slowly transition to full sun over a few years Myself i like cutting them it gives immediate ground cover and bramble growth that supper charges your deer ,rabbit ,and pther small game that prefer brush pver pure open mature forest .
