Dressing your trees with Mulch: Mulch looks great around a tree. It also can provide healthful benefits.
The key is putting down the right amount of mulch in the right place. Spread the mulch so that it is no more than 2 inches high at the outer edge of the bed tapering down to flat around the trunk. Never mound mulch around the trunk! Use organic mulches rather than stone. These mulches provide the tree with nutrients as they break down overtime and also attract beneficial insects.

Thank you for posting the mulch volcano information! Upon reading this, EVERYONE should save their trees immediately by removing the gigantic piles of mulch suffocating their trees.
Very helpful information, I never knew this was not good for the trees.
This information was very helpful and informative. I never knew this was not good for trees.
Sounds like the landscapers that pour on the mulch can sure use an education on properly putting mulch down??
