    Textbook example of how NOT to mulch around a tree. Mulch that high promotes too much moisture at the trunk and can lead to rot and insets.

      So you’re against recycling Christmas trees???

        That’s not what she said. She pointed out, quite correctly, that you don’t mound up mulch around a tree.

          Well, considering the angle at which the picture is taken, I’m fairly certain that the mound of mulch is several yards if not 10 yards or more in front of the tree that is in the background.

            Duh. It takes 100 or so DM readers but eventually we figure it out!

    That’s the Rec in the background, I think, and the mulch is our old chipped up xmas trees. I have a feeling that pile is temporary and that mulch will be dispersed and not left to rot the tree. If it does rot the tree and it falls, what impact will it have on the tree canopy calculation?

    That’s a creative way to get around the new tree ordinance.

    I bet it smells so good at the Rec right now.

    It is the fresh pine smell of your Christmas tree dollars at work.
