As autumn arrives, it’s crucial for gardeners to focus on an essential task — safeguarding the fruit trees in your garden. This step is vital to shield the trees from potential sunburn and bark cracking caused by frost.
Instead of using standard whitewash, we recommend creating a specialized protective solution.
Option #1:
Mix 2 kg of slaked lime in a bucket and combine it with 300 g of copper sulfate.
Option #2:
This method is similar to the first but includes a small amount of clay. The resulting mixture should have the consistency of thick sour cream.
Option #3:
For this method, you’ll need 3 kg of chalk and 50 g of laundry soap for each bucket of water.
It’s important to apply any of these mixtures not only to the trunk but also to the main branches, ensuring coverage up to at least 1 meter in height. Taking these precautions will effectively protect your garden from frost and sunburn during this season.
