    I would think that would be fine, we've put it around old trees before without any problems.

    you have the perfect plan.

    The point of landscape fabric is that the rain and air can still get through.So the roots will be happy enough and the tree will still get what it needs.

    You will find eventually ( in years) that the roots will push up into the by then rotted down and inviting mulch but I am talking years.

    good luck
