I live an established neighborhood rich in Post Oaks. My next door neighbor and I both have some in our front yards that are leaning. These trees are a good 25 feet tall and the homes are over 20 years old.
They hired a certified arborist to trim their trees. I had him come over and look at mine to give a quote. He used both our trees as examples. He said that by simply trimming the trees to give them access to more sunlight would make them straighten up. He also used a whole lot of big words that I learned in elementary school - this made me really doubt his sales pitch.
Since these trees are established and leaning at about a 10 to 15 degree angle, can the sun straighten them? Will it happen within my lifetime?
Thanks for giving me any information you may have.
