Hello again... and Steem blockchain!!!! We are back with you again today from our food forest here...in Southern Utah. I'm out painting the trunks of some of our fruit trees with a cool... organic paint mixed with essential oils.... and I wanted to share it with you.
Over the last 10 years of growing fruit trees...we have seen many ailments these trees go through. Small gashes...in trees usually heal over from their own resins....which rapidly come out to heal and seal the tree from invaders like wood boring insects, rodents...and fungal decay. BUT..not always. Sometimes...the wounds...don't heal as hoped...and the tree can start a slow decline over time. Even the sun.....can "sunburn" the tree...and cause harm....to the tree....if attention isn't given via shade, or other options...like tree paint.
A few years ago... I found an organic tree paint product...that has saved me quite a few fruit trees. I wished I had found it sooner....and perhaps it will help a few of you out there watching this. It's a products.....called IV ORGANIC.
I explain it more in the video....but here's a link to their website and more about their paint:

The creator of the paint....says its much more than just sealing the tree...it REPELS...rodents and insects.
I also find it helps to use this paint... after topping large areas of trees or making large cuts in trees.
Thanks for cruising a long with me on the video today Dtube and Steem blockchain, we will catch you again tomorrow!
Cheers to our food freedom! D-FOOD!
