You still got it wrong my guy. How about we start with learning what a root flare is
WAY too much mulch.
Mulchachree
Way too much mulch around the trunk
It’s called the root flare and you’re still doing it wrong. You don’t want to create a donut around the trunk or it’ll rot the trunk and roots. The mulch starts at the root flare and grades downward.
Too much mulch
Should be flat
You dont mulch a tree until after the tree has been cut down. Otherwise you mulch the soil.
Agree This is the same approach I've seen in county and city parks in Northern Louisiana where the heat is extreme July-September. If anything the circumference of the mulch bed is wider than shown in this video. A preferred mulch here is shredded cyprus, non-dyed and that is what I use on my fruit trees.
And a bunch if crazy squirrels will dig that shit up in one day.
How not to teach people how not to mulch a tree
TOO MUCH MULCH 😂😂
Where is the root flare? It should be visible.
Lmao your math ain’t mathin guy. The mulch is at least a foot high.
Way too much mulch, you can take half of that mulch and put it on another tree. Great edge up!
Shouldnt use black. It super heats from the sun. Roots dont like hot ground. Water evaporates faster too. Mulch shouldn't be touching the trunk.
You still didn’t take enough bark out you have to expose the flare.
Mulch kills trees. Best is not to have any mulch. I have tons of fruit trees I have never put any mulch and all of my trees are very healthy
Never understood the raised plantings looks ridiculous
No way you made a berm for a tree with mulch right?
That trunk gonna’ be flakey and moldy in a few months…
That is still not how you mulch a tree my guy lmfao
