Volcano mulching may look tidy, but it can cause serious problems for your trees over time. When mulch is piled against the trunk, it can trap moisture, encourage decay, stress the roots, and make the tree more vulnerable to pests and disease.

The better option is donut mulching, which keeps mulch spread around the tree while leaving space around the trunk.
