Protect your trees and shrubs from sunburn and sunscald with this easy to use, long-lasting coating. It does not take extreme heat to sunburn a tree or shrub (although that will do it!); avocado, citrus and delicate new growth can all be easily affected by sun exposure. We all know that deep cold is dangerous to most plant life, but warm winter days followed by freezing nights put trees and shrubs at risk of sunscald. With IV Organic White Wash, you have one product for all seasons.
If you use horticultural oils for pest and/or disease control, the benefits of these products come with an increased risk of phytotoxicity in what you grow. Environmentally safe IV Organic White Wash, will give you an extra layer of protection from this sun-related threat.
Can contains 1 bag of powder.
