Many means have been invented for autumn whitewashing of trees - take, for example, the same lime and chalk, known to all gardeners.
Some of them cope with the task better, others worse, but the best, according to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is garden paint.
Benefits of Garden Paint
Perhaps the main advantage of this product is that it is easy to dilute with water.
In addition, the resulting solution is applied in an even layer onto the trunk of an apple, pear or any other tree.
Garden paint has a more intense color compared to lime or chalk, which means it protects trees from sunlight better.
Moreover, the preparation is absolutely harmless to fruit trees.
Finally, both water-based and water-dispersed paints provide excellent protection for plantings from pathogenic microbes, fungal spores and harmful insects.
