Cypress Mulch is not Sustainable |

Kimmerer.com November 11, 2008
Mulch made from baldcypress and the closely related pondcypress is
prized by landscapers because its long strands create a lasting mulch
bed. The native cypress forests of North America, concentrated along
the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast waterways, have been decimated by
centuries of logging, erosion and development. Now, vast tracts of
cypress are being clear cut for the production of cypress mulch.
