Instead of paint, the trunks can be wrapped in paper or protective barriers can be installed on the sunny side.

As for rodents, they can eat both thin roots and the tender bark of seedlings.

It is necessary to wrap tree trunks with artificial materials that allow air to pass through but protect against mice and hares.
