It's likely that you've seen trees painted in a variety of hues in the past, and they typically all have a very particular meaning. A tree
that has an orange dot on it is likely to be chopped down. Trees are occasionally painted purple to indicate boundaries and alert
intruders. What about white, though? It is common practice to paint the lower trunks of trees white in order to assist avoid
sunscald. The bark splits during this phase because of the severe temperature swings that occur in the winter. Tree trunks can
suffer significant harm as they transition from chilly winter nights to sunny, bright days. The paint's light
hue keeps the wood from warming, which averts more splits and fissures. This type of paint is typically found on trees in orchards, on residential trees, or on gutters.
