Description
Controls weeds and protects roots. These durable polypropylene mesh tree circles will eliminate the need for using dangerous string trimmers around trees — a risk to tender bark. Each tree circle measures 35-inches across and will easily slip around the base of any young tree. Cover with 2 to 4 inches of mulch, chipped bark, or landscape stone for a neat and tidy look.
Questions & Answers
These tree circles are made of Typar, a polypropylene nonwoven breathable fabric that is used as a barrier to discourage weeds, while allowing air, water, and nutrients to pass through to the root system. Typar is not water soluble, nor is this tree circle coated with any chemicals to leach into the soil.
NO. If the tree senses a possible fertile substance (mulch, soil, etc.) against its truck above the grafting knot, the tree will try (and usually succeed) to send out roots into that fertile substance. If the tree accomplishes that "higher rooting," then the benefit of any dwarfing root stock and grafting will be lost and you will end up with a standard sized tree.
This picture is from the product manufacturer and shouldn't be used as a guide for planting. Keep mulch about 12 to 18 inches from the trunk for any size of tree. Mulch should not be piled against the trunk (above) because roots may grow there (below) and girdle the trunk.
My wife & I successfully have used "Typar Tree Circles" ("TTC"s) around the base of our
"Silver Sage" Cenizo bushes in West Texas as a means to block the growth of weeds which otherwise would spring-up beneath the Cenizo bushes. We cover the TTCs with crushed gravel/small rocks. The material used in the TTCs has held-up well over the past couple of years in very adverse weather conditions to which the material has been subjected.
You would need to use a different product. This product prevents weed growth at the base of the tree.
I do not see anything to suggest that you can not use Spruce wood chips for mulch.
They are 35".

If you look in the Characteristics section of any individual pecan variety, you will see a Zone range. If Zone 10 is included, the tree will do well there. Unfortunately, pecan trees need a cold dormant period and Zone 9 is about the furthest south they will produce.
Not if you plan to mulch atop the circle. I never remove grass. I tack down outer edges of circle with landscape staples. Then I place 3 to 4 inches bark chips or other mulch on top. This allows mowing slightly onto the mulch.
I have fruit trees and I'm concerned about the grass growing around the tree trunk.
Tired of fighting weeds and grass around my fruit trees..
