Products that I will use for a Trail of different products to control trunk sunburn damage in avocado canopy change. I will have the protocol outlined by April 1, 2016 to star decapitations in June 1.

De witt Tree Wrap. Cost about $4.00 a roll 3"X 50' and I'm not sure how to warp a decapitated tree to allow for the water shoots to grow.

IV IV Organics 3-In-1 Tree Guard PaintOrganics 3-In-1 Tree Guard Paint. At $34.00 a pint I'm not sure what coverage I would get in a 15 year old tree
|
|
4"X 100 yard burlap roll Cost about $9.00 . The wrapping process will get complicated to allow water shoots to grow through the burlap
|
|
Kilz Latex primer. I will probably add some copper fungicide, some insecticide and a radiant barrier additive. I tried the plain paint last season and did not work well.

|
Surround a Novasource product. Kaolin based, it is a sun protectant and also an insect repellent. I will try some formulation of trunk pain. It is not expensive you get 25 lbs for around $30.00

Agricultural hydrated lime white wash. The formula seems to be 1/2 lb of hydrated line per gallon of water with 20 grams of zinc sulfate. I'm also looking for and additive to make this last longer on the tree. That being said my HP is high in the 8.0 range, I'm not sure I need or want line in my soil.
