Hello! I just watch your video on pruning pine trees… We have a very tall white pine that leans slightly and I have noticed that on the Windward side, the ground is rising… We have had an arborist here and he has some ideas but in the end, he said to be 100% risk free we may have to take the tree down. I am very sad because I love this tree and I’m hoping to find some advice here. I enjoyed your pine tree pruning video and wish we had done it all along. Thanks for any advice you can give -Maria.
Hello, An arborist is well trained in what and how trees grow and when they need to be replaced. Here is what I think given the information you have provided: During the period of time that the tree has grown, the moisture in the ground may have not been deep enough to allow the roots to grow down nice and deep. Winds blowing against the tree on one side may have caused the roots to lift up on one side, thus causing the tree to lean. If it one day falls down hopefully you do not have buildings or other structures in the way. If you do, then you should probably have it removed sooner than later. If you do not have any structures in the way, let it lean and create a theme around it. Take pictures of you standing next to it...but lean in the direction that it is leaning. White Pine trees grow pretty quick...say an average of 2 feet per year so buying a new one that is 4 or 5 feet tall with an already established root system would not take long to have a large white pine tree back in your yard. My Pine trees were 6" tall when planted from 2002 to 2004. They are now, on average, about 18 ft. tall and 12" in diameter. Good luck with this. Hope my comments help.
