Not every unusual-looking tree is dangerous, and a tree doesn't need to be leaning dramatically before there's a genuine problem.
Signs worth having checked
- Large cracks running along the trunk or major limbs
- Split or hanging branches
- Significant deadwood throughout the crown
- Visible decay, fungal growth or hollowing at the base
- Root movement or lifting soil around the base
- A new or noticeably increased lean
- Sudden changes after a storm
What to do if you're concerned
If something about a tree has noticeably changed, getting it professionally assessed is far better than guessing. In the meantime, keep people and vehicles away from the immediate area if the risk seems significant.
