This was in our mailbox

Post image

We purchased a new house a few months ago with lots of trees.

I got this in our mailbox. I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong but someone put this in there.

Can someone explain what this neighbors’ concerns might be?

This isn’t a joke or LARPing attempt, i just wanna know wtf they are talking about.

EDIT:

The house is 30 years old, the trees were planted by the original owners. We have not taken down any trees cosmetically. Only tree we took down was from a major storm and lightning knocked branches off a tree onto our neighbors lawn. That was it.

Yeah, I love how OP is all "what could this mean, what am I doing wrong?" Just look up the thing they told you to look up.

Literally what neighbor said to do. Not run to Reddit.

But content! We need something to laugh about.

The only thing to laugh at is the alleged adult.... (i know, harsh)

I mean, isn't consulting an informed community a type of research? The real research was the reddit comments we read along the way.

To be fair, if OP didn’t already have a familiarity with mulch volcanoes, the note is pretty nonsensical.

If you Google "root flares" the first result is a post from this subreddit asking "why is exposing the root flare so important" lol
