Are there any tree species that are not recommended as chipped mulch for fruit trees? Our local DOT cleared and chipped the RW near us joining our property and there a lots of free chips available.

I believe you want to stay away from black walnut
So far as I’m concerned, if you have the place to dump, I’d take the free chips in a heartbeat, no questions asked!

You can use any wood chips to mulch your trees black walnut included.
I have used just about every species.

Agreeing with ribs. We get loads and loads dumped on our property each year. I have never had a negative issue with them. It has only helped having them on hand.

Had tons of them dumped here from power line cutting. I agree with the others, but would like to give a heads up. Free was great, but they also came with a massive amount of seeds that wanted to sprout first chance they got. Even so I wouldn’t say no to more.
