    I will add regarding mulching with wood chippings. bacteria (who are first on to the breakdown process) cannot deal with excessive amounts and as a result take nutrients from the soil to assist them in the breakdown process, adding over 4" will cause this. using wood chip around a tree such as in this thread - clearly under stress I would be cautious and use less than 4" and partly decomposed as is the case here

    its got age on its side, as long as there is no more damage it should survive - also agree with above - mulch it
