Dealing with Leaning Trees

There are many reasons why a tree might be leaning. Weather, construction and poor planning can take a toll on trees. Just because your tree leans doesn't mean it's hazardous, but it should be checked carefully. Your tree may be able to be repaired, but if you're not sure, check with an arborist.
