Whitewash lime for tree and shrub trunks - Florovit - 1 kg

Whitewash lime for tree and shrub trunks - Florovit - 1 kg is used in the autumn and winter period, when trunks and the bases of branches are exposed to damage caused by large temperature fluctuations. The layer of lime reflects sunlight and reduces bark heating on sunny days, which helps prevent trunk cracking and the formation of frost damage. Florovit trunk whitewash lime is worth using as part of winter protection for fruit trees and shrubs.

Properties and benefits

The layer of lime reflects sunlight, which reduces the heating of trunks and branches during the day and the risk of them freezing at night. As a result, the formation of vertical bark cracks and damage to internal tissues is limited. Florovit trunk whitewash lime contains additives that improve adhesion, so the product stays well on the bark surface and is more resistant to being washed off by rain and snow.

Composition

Lime product intended for whitewashing tree and shrub trunks.

Application and feeding period

The product is intended for whitewashing the trunks of fruit trees and shrub stems, such as currants or gooseberries. The treatment is carried out in autumn, usually in October or November, in order to protect the plants before winter. Florovit trunk whitewash lime can also be used in winter and at the beginning of spring, from January to March, if the protective layer has been washed off by rainfall.

Dosage

The entire contents of the pack should be dissolved in 2.4 litres of water to obtain a solution of the proper consistency for whitewashing. Leave the prepared mixture for about 15 minutes, then mix thoroughly again before use.

Directions for use

Use the prepared solution to thoroughly coat the trunks and the bases of branches of trees and shrubs. The treatment is best carried out on a rain-free day at a temperature above 4°C, so that the lime layer bonds well with the bark surface. If it is washed off during winter by rainfall, the whitewashing can be repeated.
