Good afternoon, my reader. The main problem for gardeners is that the young bark of trees is sensitive, and this negatively affects the growth of the plant. There can be many reasons for this, primarily sunlight. The fact is that frost holes often form in the spring, and in the summer the plant receives serious burns. It is because of such damage that the wood of trees is exposed to fungi and rot. If the gardener does not immediately start saving the tree, then there is a risk that the crown will develop unevenly, dangerous fungi will enter the trunk, stem rot will begin to appear, which will lead to the collapse of the tree in further.

How to care for a tree after planting it in the ground
It may take 5 years for a seedling to start after planting. Experienced gardeners are well aware of the need to protect the tree trunk from direct sunlight. To begin with, it should be remembered that the bark is protected by covering the trunk with a white compound. But it is important to remember that the composition is selected on purpose, it may be based on building paints, but for young seedlings this is not always an acceptable option. For example:
- The service life is not very long. Given that it is prepared at home, the composition may drain after the first rain, after which it will again be necessary to cover the trunk with whitewash.
- Whitewashing prevents the bark from breathing. For a long time, you will need to add glue or even building paints.
- You should definitely think about non-environmental friendliness. The whitewash runs off after rainfall, which can harm the root system and contaminate the soil.
Means for protection
Biological scientists suggest using the Arbo-Flex remedy to protect trees, which has no drawbacks. It must be remembered that the preparation is developed on the basis of an organic binder, which is connected with quartz sand. Another advantage is the duration of the effect on the bark - about 5 years. Such protection is suitable not only in case of heavy rainfall, but also saves the seedlings from the raids of rodents.
To develop such a unique tool, biologists are trying to conduct as many experiments as possible and compare the temperature of the bark in the cambial layer of the trunk. After applying "Arbo-Flex" there is no longer a need to wrap a tree trunk with burlap at low temperatures. "Arbo-Flex" does not exfoliate like a common whitewash, it remains on the tree trunk for a long time.
If you choose a tool that can really help, then Arbo-Flex is most suitable for young trees. Saplings, which are from 3 to 5 years old, will be completely safe under various adverse conditions.
