Spring activities on the site begin with whitewashing the trees, which protects the plants from the scorching sun.
This work is very important and responsible, as it protects the plantings from serious damage that will not be immediately noticeable.
In spring, deep cracks appear on trees – sunburns. They can become a “gateway” for pathogens.
Therefore, in early spring, summer residents try to whitewash not only the trunk, but also the lower skeletal branches.
To protect trees, you don't have to mess around with whitewash solution. Plants can be protected from burns using another method.
The essence of whitewashing is to create a protective layer between the bark and the sun's rays. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a solution. You can simply wrap the trees with newspaper. It is enough to fix them with a rope.
This protection is enough to protect trees from sunburn. But experts believe that whitewashing is more valuable. Especially those compositions that contain antifungal components.
