Melaleuca Mulch

Melaleuca mulch is a natural ground cover produced from the shredded wood and bark of the melaleuca tree, an invasive species in some regions. This mulch is valued for its durability and resistance to decomposition, making it a long-lasting choice for landscaping projects.

The unique properties of melaleuca mulch help suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and regulate soil temperature. Its fibrous texture allows for good water penetration while minimizing runoff. Melaleuca mulch is commonly used in residential gardens, commercial landscapes, and around trees and shrubs. It is especially popular in areas seeking sustainable solutions, as using melaleuca helps control the spread of this invasive species. Pros include its natural appearance, resistance to pests, and environmental benefits. However, it may have a coarser texture compared to other mulches, which can be less suitable for delicate plantings or pathways.
