    I believe the white paint on tree trunks is to protect the tree from sunlight (white color reflects more light). The trunks are painted to prevent bark splitting and other heat-related problems. We see this commonly in the US too.

      The tree trunks are not painted with white paint, it is lime. Covering trees with lime prevents damage to them by harmful insects and bugs.

      That's to save trees from some insects, that crawl up and eat them.

    My Polish mother in law paints the trunks of her fruit trees with white lime or something similar. She told me that it stops some insects climbing up them . I don't know if it works.

    As far as I can remember, we always paint tree trunks with white lime, firstly to prevent some insects from climbing up and secondly it looks beautiful ... The last statement about beauty is questionable of course ?!

      Найдите узбекские авиалинии,они должны быть дешевле,лучше кормят чем многие авиалинии,и по безопасности и комфорту в высоких рейтингах. Самолеты только компании Боинг и Airbus. Летчики тоже считаются лучшими(Российская школа). Каждую неделю вроде бы есть рейсы

  • @k2k273

    I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s precisely the cafe shops and burger joints you like what qualifies as a tourist trap. That Samarkand does not have that many means it is not a tourist trap yet. Do you really want ice cream parlors, pubs, pizza places and stuff like that? Perhaps you may enjoy the century-old mosques, madrassas, mausoleums and old streets and forget western junk food…. Just a thought.

      It's definitely mostly cash. You might find the odd tourist restaurant which takes card but it is almost completely cash (unfortunately for me)

    Samarkand architecture is better than that of Taj mahal, on account of the colours. Taj mahal is plain white.
