mulching around a tree

[D Felix]

Any tree with a girdling root will decline. Starts at the top, just like any other root problem. Only remedy is to remove the offending root.

how big is the tree with the girdling root problem?

[D Felix]

A tree of virtually any size in a landscape can have a girdling root, if that is what you are asking... I personally have removed them on trees as small as a 3' Jap maple, all the way up to a 18" tree.
