Pine needle mulch never bothered my peach trees. I used the needles for more than 5 years on 4 peach varieties, and all of them were healthy trees that produced abundant crops. I applied at least a 6-inch layer to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. I also used this thick needle mulch on perennial and rose beds. It worked well, and slugs were deterred by the prickly needles--never had any damage.
