hello!
We have a ton of cut down, rotten, cotton wood trees on a property we just bought.
We are wondering if we chipped them, would it be good to use in the garden?

Yes, chip away. Because Cottonwood is so soft, I suspect the chips will decompose in double time.

We have used mulch from our trimmed cottonwood trees for several years. They were (and still are) huge and the first time we had them cut back, it generated a massive pile of chips that the trimming company piled in a remote spot on the property. We're still using some of those same chips.
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.
