It was left about 6 inches from contacting the trunk. And this was a thin layer. I was shocked by the response. No roots are on top of the ground.


Sounds like something toxic or diseased might have been in the mulch then.

Maybe. Like I said, I just raked it out away from the tree to a layer that isn’t even solid anymore. All mulch is still under the crown, but the tree has leafed back out.

ETA: I put this same mulch around young sapling redbuds in tree tubes and they’re doing fantastic.
