Many contractors would simply say “Yes”. But the truth is it all depends on the type of tree and location of the tree. As an example, if the tree was a smaller tree and other larger tree were growing in the same vicinity the smaller tree would tend to grow towards the existing sunlight that is still available for the small tree. Most tree contractors, especially those without the knowledge of how trees grow and other important but basic tree knowledge would say “its leaning so you should remove it”. This just gets them a job on what could be otherwise a healthy tree.
After several days of rain, I saw a tree uproot at a property. My assumption is that this tree uprooted due to the ground being supersaturated. My questions are “Have you had clients experience this?” and “Is there a way to determine if a tree is susceptible to uprooting due to moisture with determiners such as age, type, etc.?”
