Great information Green One! It's unfortunate how many trees are planted and mulched incorrectly. We've saved many trees with an air spade.Good Photos!
Here is a link to watch: Root Collar Excavation - YouTube
In wetter years, it becomes more of an issue with Cherry planted too deeply, dealing with the stress/poor respiration, and more issues Like Bacterial Canker and Gummosis become more obvious.
Do you have a good Certified Arborist in your area that you could hire, and make a plan to do a Root Collar Excavation/Air Spading and proper mulching thereafter, as well as other treatments to improve the Vigor of your Valuable Tree?
