"Saving Trees from Drought and Heat"

 Organic mulch around trees will improve water infiltration into the soil and reduce the amount of water that runs off during fall and winter rains. The mulch will also help conserve soil moisture during the next hot, dry summer, assuring that more moisture is available for tree growth for a longer period. Mulching newly transplanted and young trees is especially important, since water is usually the limiting factor in successfully establishing new, healthy landscape trees.

Mulches provide many benefits to plants. Benefits may vary with the material used, the type of soil, the kind of plant and the cultural practices used. Mulches also may be used to make landscapes more attractive and usable and to reduce the amount of maintenance work

Fall is a good time to replenish mulch

Around your landscape trees or to apply it for the first time. During the warm summer months, organic mulch decomposes, making beneficial elements available for tree growth but reducing some of the other attributes of mulch.

What is Mulch?

Mulch is simply organic matter applied over the root zone of a tree. The larger the mulch area, the better it is for the tree. Mulch acts as a blanket to hold moisture, protect against harsh soil temperatures, help prevent mechanical injury from mowers and string trimmers, and reduce competition from grass and weeds. A two- to four-inch layer is ideal.

Good choices are wood chips, shredded bark, shredded leaf litter, or pine straw. Remember, organic materials do not have to be composted before using if they are applied as surface mulch. Additional nitrogen is not needed unless "green" or non-composted organic material is incorporated into the soil.

Mulch should be placed at a uniform depth, and care should be taken so that none is against the tree trunk. Putting mulch against the trunk may cause disease problems on the living bark at the base of the tree, especially with young trees. A mulch-free area, one to two inches wide at the base of the tree, is sufficient to avoid moist bark conditions and prevent infection.
Avoid creating "mulch volcanoes" often seen around young landscape trees


Mulching large areas around mature trees, out as far as the branch spread or drip line, is also very helpful. Often mulching is the only treatment that will prevent or reverse the health decline so common in mature trees in our harsh environments. Mulch improves soil conditions so new root growth is increased along with the overall health of the tree.
The use of mulch is a simple concept that works
Nature does it every day in the forest!
