I have mounded gravel about the trunks of my apple trees thinking
that it would keep the soil warmer in the summer and help growth a
little but after I read that they will 'suck' the heat out of the
ground in the fall and early winter possible making he roots colder
that they would normally be, I decided to take it away. This I read
somewhere, don't recall, but it strongly advised not to put gravel up
against the trunk or around the trunk.
