Tree paint

Tree paint

Tree paint is any brushable substance applied to the bark of a tree intended to improve the health of the tree.

White tree paint is applied to citrus trees to keep them from getting scorched by the sun.

Organic tree paint can be easily made and is quite unlike other paint, it is more similar to a brushable mud. It is painted on trees in order to help them heal after being wounded.

Tree paint may help to prevent disease-carrying insects from entering a wounded tree. [ [http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/nursery/430-456/430-456.html A Guide to Successful Pruning, Pruning Deciduous Trees ] ]
