Multiknowledge: EM ceramic tree paint - winter protection and bark care for healthy trees

The cold season poses major challenges for trees, as low temperatures, frost and external influences can damage the bark. A particularly effective method of protecting trees from these influences is to use a special tree paint with EM ceramics. This natural paint not only supports bark care, but also provides effective protection against weather damage and pests.

Why tree paint?

Tree coatings are used to care for and protect the bark, especially in winter. A tree coating with EM Ceramics provides a protective layer that seals cracks in the bark where pests could otherwise easily overwinter. These cracks often also represent entry points for fungi and bacteria that can lead to serious tree diseases. A well-applied tree coating seals such weak points and increases the resistance of the tree. It is recommended that the coating be applied just before winter sets in, to prevent frost damage and other external influences.

Advantages of the EM ceramic tree coating

The EM ceramic tree paint combines the power of Effective Microorganisms with the positive properties of ceramic powder, whey powder and ultra-fine ZeoBas primary rock dust. The Effective Microorganisms help to strengthen the tree's natural defences by inhibiting the development of pathogens and spores on the bark surface. The ceramic particles and ZeoBas also provide a more stable, moisture-regulating layer that is better able to withstand temperature fluctuations.

Application and dosage

The two components are mixed in a 1:1 ratio to form a creamy, spreadable paste. This paste can then be generously applied to the bark of the tree. The best time to apply the paint is in late autumn, so that the tree is optimally prepared for the winter months. The tree paint is also a helpful wound protection after pruning branches, as it protects the cut sites and promotes their healing.

How to apply the tree paint correctly

Preparation: Make sure the bark is clean and dry. Remove any loose bark or coarse dirt.

Application: Apply the paste evenly to the trunk and main branches. Pay particular attention to cracks and other damaged areas, as these are especially susceptible to pests and frost.

Repeat as necessary: The coating can be renewed in spring when temperatures rise, depending on requirements.

Conclusion

The EM Ceramic Tree Paint offers a simple and effective method of strengthening the resistance of trees to frost and pests. The nurturing effect on the bark and the protective function for wounds and cracks make this natural coating an indispensable aid for anyone who wants to help their trees stay healthy through the winter.
