shredded bark

Tree skin fragments

Shredded bark is bark that has been processed into thin, fibrous strips, used primarily as mulch in gardens and landscaping.

It decomposes slowly, retains moisture, and suppresses weeds: We spread shredded bark around the rose bushes.

Cedar and pine are common sources.
