Description
Several newly planted street trees are "volcano mulched" with dirt & mulch piled up around the trunk by about 8 inches. The roots no longer have access to oxygen. This leads to stressed and dying roots which in turn stresses the tree. Volcano mulching also keeps bark constantly moist, fostering decay. Over time the bark rots, exposing the conductive tissue beneath the bark to decay as well.
