Paint Your Fruit Tree 

@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.

I use a 4" plastic white drain pipe to protect the tree trunk.

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?

Ya mon, home of da macaroni pie. I mon from Jamaica and wifee fron St Thomas VI. Good tips pon del channel

Dave's not home man. He left this earth. Iirc.

Exposing those areas allows them to be covered and ridding the area of dead tissue avoids attracting pests that would like to eat it.

Horacio Castillo thank you!

Fuck i don't understand shit

Horacio Castillo i

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

@Kameron Arian instablaster :)

@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.

@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

dev bachu can’t grow pomegranates in tropical regions

It did grow an fruiting now thanks

It's probably a fungicide that would not be for ultimate human consumption, I'm guessing.

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.

It’s water based paint, so it will be fine I suppose. We paint to prevent sunburn mostly, so you could always wait.

Same thing I said

@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.

@D Singh Whatever you say dude, stay scared my friend.

Yes, though older trees can usually shade themselves.

Yes, you can. Just not the leaves obviously..

borers

yes, you can.

As long as it’s water based and not oil based, it doesn’t matter much.

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?

Yes, that will work.

Kathy Storer yes, commonly done with new growth.

Practical Experience : if it’s already damaged you have to find a way to seal it.

Doctor Shred: NOT toxic. He explained that. Besides, latex is a tree product.

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.
