Thanks for the tip. Was wondering on white vs other colors. Got a bunch of old light latex from painting interior that I was going to toss. This could save me money plus doing something useful with waste.
@DaveWilsonTrees thank you for your great, helpful videos and advice! Why not exterior latex paint? It seems like a fungicide would be beneficial. We just put in some bare root fruit trees (from @DaveWilsonTrees 😊) and I was thinking of making a thinned paint/whitewash using Kilz primer. I don’t have the time or numbers of trees to experiment, so curious as to your answer.
You can wrap them, commercially they use cardboard milk carton sleeves to protect young trees from sunburn. These techniques don't protect form boring insects though.
ok, well the info I saw indicated it was wrapped with some kind of cloth & that it did protect from borers. I am glad to know there is organic paint that can be used - much safer.
I put white 4" plastic drain pipe over my very young , freshly planted trees. To protect the trunk, with the branches exposed above the pipe. The trees have to be small to be able to bunch the leaves up with one hand and slip the pipe over with the other hand. I cut a piece of pipe about two feet long , I do this to protect the young tree from rats and rabbits from chewing the bark off. I use the white colored pipe so it reflects the sun. This is the 4" white round plastic drain pipe for burying underground that rain gutters drain into. This type of pipe is very soft and it cuts easy with a sharp knife, I use my big long Bowie knife to cut the pipe. I suppose it could be put around a more mature tree trunk if you cut the pipe down one side so it could be split open and slip it around the trunk instead of trying to slide it down over the top.

You mentioned not to use an exterior latex because it has a fungicide, I would think that a fungicide would be a good thing for a fruit tree as long and it does not hurt the tree.
i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any help you can give me
@Otis Edward Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
This is what I do to protect the avocado tree trunks.Once a year after harvest time at the end of the summer,I will wash the trunks with a pressure sprayer with the engine at idle,not too much water pressure,them I will spray 2 ounces of diazinon insectice in 4 galons of water and 2 ounces of agro-penetrant.one week later all the trunks are painted with white water based paint,3/4 paint.1/4 water. this protect the tree trunks nicely. I do use exterior latex paint. It cost too much to see a healthy tree producing avocados to let it be unprotected on the trunk. Sorry for my bad English, it is not my native language.
Friends, I wish to talk with you about this. When he said INTERIOR latex, he gave a reason. That suits me just fine. When he talked about those bugs he mispronounced and on the screen misspelled them. They are borERs. Not bores. We have them in forestry too. And last, the point of this whole video: I thought it was SUNSCALD, not sunburn, and that it was a winter problem, not summer. If this is news to you, I will be glad to explain it in a friendly way. Are you sure you want to pick at the loose bark in that tree wound? What about CODIT when you expose those new, raw places? In any case, I am glad you are painting the trunks.
Dave Wilson Nursery what if I used Exterior with Acrylic? Did I damage my Trees? What can I do to reverse that without damaging my Trees more than I have already if any? Thanks in advance!
Thanks Dave...I will definitely paint my fruit trees from now on. I have one cherry where the sunburn resulted in canker, should I dig out the canker and paint over that area?
Why not just plant a blueberry bush or small shrub or something in front of it to protect it from the Sun rather than blocking off its skin with poison
Latex paints use mostly water as a solvent, which make them a much less toxic alternative to oil-based paints. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that water-soluble interior latex paints are low in toxicity if ingested in small quantities. They also clean up with water, so cleaning does not require harmful solvents. Types While interior latex paint is not highly toxic, exterior latex paint may contain mercury for use as a preservative and bacteria-killing biocide. Though paint companies have voluntarily removed mercury from exterior latex formulas, it is still legal for them to contain mercury. For this reason, exterior latex paint should never be used indoors. This is to avoid any possible risk of prolonged exposure to mercury, which can affect the nervous system of both children and adults. Effects The main issue with interior latex paint is not with the paint itself, but with the fumes released by the paint as it is drying and over time. The fumes are made of organic compounds, or VOCs, which are gases like benzene, formaldehyde and toluene. The actual gases depend on the formula of the paint. Generally, the more heavily tinted and glossy the paint, the more VOCs are released. Theories/Speculations VOCs cause reactions in most everyone, but especially affect children, the elderly, those with compromised immune systems and pregnant women. The American Pregnancy Association recommends that pregnant women should not paint or be around paint fumes. VOCs, especially formaldehyde, are blamed for causing headaches, nausea, fatigue and irritations of the eyes, nose and throat. According to a 2006 article in the Vancouver Sun, VOCs may even be responsible for liver disease and lung cancer.
Thanks for the video. I kind of cringe at some of the comments. I think its hilarious people freaking out about the potential toxicity of indoor latex paint.
@D Singh And it says not toxic. We could have a discussion about VOC's but we are talking about painting trees outside. That plus the how ever many billion people that live inside houses painted with interior latex paint. Being afraid of painting your tree with indoor latex paint because you think its toxic is ridiculous.
Thanks for the tip. Was wondering on white vs other colors. Got a bunch of old light latex from painting interior that I was going to toss. This could save me money plus doing something useful with waste.
Yes, interior flat water based. mix 50/50 with water.

I always wondered why the orange groves alway had white paint on the trunks? I thought it was just to make them look cool 😎 not just keep them cool.
You can only use indoor, water soluble paint, which is fairly benign. But there are organic paints out there.
ok, well the info I saw indicated it was wrapped with some kind of cloth & that it did protect from borers. I am glad to know there is organic paint that can be used - much safer.
I use a 4" plastic white drain pipe to protect the tree trunk.
I found some info that says you can wrap the tree to help prevent sunburn; seems that would be a whole lot healthier.
It's probably a fungicide that would not be for ultimate human consumption, I'm guessing.

@Otis Edward it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Kameron Arian No problem xD
It looks like this is a pretty old video. Do you guys still recommend painting trees like this?
Same thing I said
Water primer can I used got you not oip paint or concrete paint)
I wonder if this would also be an effective way to deal with the Chinese spotted lantern fly that is now in southeast Pennsylvania ?
@ghijsch Yes, but make sure it's not exterior paint, or paint used for the outside of your house. It has to be interior paint.
I have interior acrylic latex paint, can it be used on young trees? Or old ones for that matter.
@@georgeblumer1496 it needs to be just latex, water based paint.
@@DaveWilsonTrees I’ve recently heard that adding tobacco juice to latex paint helps repel various insects. Do you have any experience with that?
What is best time of year to do this in Colorado? I have a peach tree that is ailing from canker & pretty bad sunburn

Fuck i don't understand shit

Does Lowe's have this organic paint ,,,,
Or just use interior latex paint 🤷♂️

In any case, I am glad you are painting the trunks.
Exposing those areas allows them to be covered and ridding the area of dead tissue avoids attracting pests that would like to eat it.
Seems to me there ought to be a more natural way to deal with this problem; we get enough chemicals in our food as it is.
Likely not canker but scaring from the sunburn. Best not to dig and risk more damage, just paint over.
Great tips 👌
sir which material i should use to sunburn protection for paint plant 's trunk...
Bores? Did he mean boars?
borers
Can we paint all of a walnut tree? Not just the trunk but all of it?
Yes, you can. Just not the leaves obviously..
Does it make a difference, before painting, whether the trunk is dry , or soaking wet after a lot of rain?
It’s water based paint, so it will be fine I suppose. We paint to prevent sunburn mostly, so you could always wait.
thanks guyappreciate that I am from Trinidad/Tobago guy
Ya mon, home of da macaroni pie. I mon from Jamaica and wifee fron St Thomas VI. Good tips pon del channel
Can i paint a 2 years fuyu persimmon tree please. And can this be done for all fruit trees young and old. Thanks.
Yes, though older trees can usually shade themselves.
What Sheen of paint flat?
As long as it’s water based and not oil based, it doesn’t matter much.
I accidentally grabbed the acrylic paint from my garage and used that on one of my young apple trees 😢 I'll be watching it closely
What happened to the tree? I just accidentally did the same thing. I diluted mine with 50% water and hoping that makes it less toxic to the tree
is thawater house paint you use on a house to paint
Yes, just be sure it's interior house paint.
Dave Wilson Nursery what if I used Exterior with Acrylic? Did I damage my Trees? What can I do to reverse that without damaging my Trees more than I have already if any? Thanks in advance!
@@Coachrosyf I accidentally just did the same thing, but with interior acrylic paint. What happened to your trees?
Thanks Dave...I will definitely paint my fruit trees from now on. I have one cherry where the sunburn resulted in canker, should I dig out the canker and paint over that area?
thanks for making these videos
can i use pure whiyewash water based colour i mean calcium carbonate in water base is it works for fruit trees like lemon tree ciyrus tree etc...
yes, you can.
really first gtime I saw that I live in the tropical country can I iuses a limestone wash
Yes, that will work.
Thank you
can you use a interior white flat paint.
What the Sam Hill is this
Thanks a bunch!!!
Can this paint be cut even further to spray on leaves?
Kathy Storer yes, commonly done with new growth.
Why not just plant a blueberry bush or small shrub or something in front of it to protect it from the Sun rather than blocking off its skin with poison
Practical Experience : if it’s already damaged you have to find a way to seal it.
👍👍👍👍👍

Interesting. Thanks.
Just grow some Elaeagnus on the south side of the trees.
thats terrible, natural gypsum + cellulose water mixture
interesting!
