The most aesthetically pleasing formation to a tree is when it grows straight and tall. However, there are times when this naturally doesn't happen and trees end up growing in a different way and not completely upright. Certain factors can have in influence on the direction a tree grows, some include high wind exposure, rain, and other weather-related causes that result in abnormal tree growth. There is a higher risk for young trees to get manipulated during storms since their branches are soft, their trunk is not as sturdy, and their roots are not established enough.
Can A New Lean Be Fixed?
Once in a while, you can notice a tree growing with a bend in its trunk. If you notice and know how to fix it early enough, you can prevent it from being a permanent bend. But if you have an established tree with a bend, there is no way to fix it after a certain point. In order to prevent this problem from occurring, if you plant a young tree, you can stake it in order to keep it growing straight.
The root balls of young saplings are not very strong, which is why additional support is necessary. If none is given and they are planted in a highly windy area, this can make them lean. Any tree with a thin trunk has trouble keeping themselves upright due to them being too heavy and not having established roots yet. Leading them to lean if they are not staked at a young stage.
