Learn how to protect your young fruit trees from the sun. This is a natural way without paint that is great for both deciduous and citrus fruit trees.
Sunburn can be prevented without the use of the traditionally used chemical paint. Here is a simple trick that works quite well.
All you need for this project is some sort of sturdy fabric (like denim) or better yet shade cloth. (The kind you see I used in the pictures is a shade fabric of some kind that was used on the windows of our house by the previous owner. It didn't look good on the house and wasn't easy to use so we took it down and I saved it. Later on it came in handy for this project. The darker shade cloth works as well.)
In addition you'll need a standard crafters stapler and scissors.
That's it! Your tree is all ready to withstand the harshest sun rays without getting sunburn. :-) No chemical paints needed!
Any and all. I've done it on citrus and deciduous and had great results with both.
