I live in a subdivision and we are having a discussion as to whether or not you should put mulch rings around trees. We all agree Volcano mulches are bad, but is a ring of 2” deep mulch beneficial to trees? We typically do not mulch our pines, but we do mulch, our crêpe myrtles, some oaks, and other ornamental trees. Also, does a needfor mulch depend on the age of the tree? May be a baby tree, you mulch, but a mature tree you don’t?
Please solve the riddle, mulch, or no mulch.
