Use an latex interior paint diluted 50-50 with
water and paint the trunks up to the first limbs. Do not use any type of oil
based paint as these will hurt your trees. A painting mit (a glove for painting)
sold in many paint stores is good for this as it is easier to paint round
objects. The painting will need to be redone each year to keep up the
protection. One offshot of this is that your trees will bloom a little later as
the white color reflects the sunlight and cools the trunks.
