Try not to get it up over the bark of the trees as it could harbor insect pests or diseases that could harm the plant but place it away from the trunk of the tree or plant. If you are preparing a bed to plant in you can then add it as you till your soil. I would just put your compost in circle around your plant on top of the soil.
