SavATree was cited as an expert source in Southern Living for an article on why trees lean and how homeowners can tell a harmless tilt from a warning sign.
The article, published August 4, 2026, walked readers through the common causes of a leaning tree, from natural growth toward light to storm damage and root problems, and outlined the scenarios that turn a lean into a genuine hazard.
Drawing on SavATree's guidance, the article explained that while some trees straighten on their own after high winds or storms, others keep leaning because of damaged roots or a shift in weight distribution.
Why it matters: A leaning tree does not always mean trouble, but a sudden or worsening lean, especially after a storm, can point to a partially failed root plate or structural stress. Warning signs like cracked or heaving soil, exposed roots, mushrooms at the base, or splits in the trunk all warrant a professional look. A SavATree ISA Certified Arborist® can assess the cause and recommend the safest course of action before a lean becomes a fall.
If you have noticed a tree on your property starting to lean, SavATree's ISA Certified Arborists® can evaluate the risk and recommend next steps during a complimentary consultation.
