Q: I am planting some 6- to 10-foot-tall fruit trees and a couple of small shade trees. Is there really a benefit to painting the tree trunks or wrapping them in that spiral wrap stuff?
A: How many trees do you see in nature that are painted or wrapped? Tree trunks don’t normally need to be painted or wrapped in plastic pipe, wire, or cloth. However, there are times when tree wrap can help protect the tree.
