Lime for whitewashing trees and shrubs - 2 kg

Lime for whitewashing trees and shrubs is a proven way to help protect plants from frost and sudden temperature changes. Used in winter, it helps protect the bark against cracking and the formation of frost injuries, while also reducing the risk of damage caused by pests. Thanks to its convenient, powdery form, the lime dissolves easily in water, creating a ready-to-use whitewashing solution for tree trunks.

Properties

The lime forms a light protective layer on the bark surface that reflects sunlight, helping prevent trunks from overheating on sunny winter days. In this way, it minimises the risk of bark cracking caused by temperature differences between day and night. Whitewashing also acts as a deterrent to some pests and helps protect trees against the formation of frost injuries. The powder product dissolves in water, creating a thick mixture with strong adhesion to the bark.

Application and treatment period

The lime is intended for whitewashing trunks and thicker branches of ornamental and fruit trees and shrubs. The treatment is carried out in the winter period, most often in December, January or at the beginning of February, preferably on a dry day and in above-freezing temperatures. Using the product at this time helps protect plants against the effects of sudden temperature fluctuations. To maintain effectiveness, the lime layer can be renewed in the second half of winter.

Directions for use

To prepare the solution, dissolve 1 kg of lime in about 1 litre of water, mixing thoroughly until a uniform, thick consistency is obtained. Depending on your needs, the amount of ingredients can be increased while keeping the same proportions. Apply the ready mixture with a brush to trunks and thicker branches. The treatment is best carried out on a dry, windless day, which will ensure good adhesion and durability of the protective layer.

Benefits of use

Whitewashing trees with lime effectively helps reduce the risk of bark frost damage, trunk cracking and the formation of frost injuries. The light layer reflects sunlight, helping prevent the bark from overheating during winter days. The product also forms a natural barrier that deters some pests, which additionally increases plant protection. It is a simple way to help keep trees in good condition.
