Paint for my young tree trunk
9 years ago
I went to the local nursery today and get myself a sir prize avocado in 5 gallon pot. The whole tree trunk is green. I read that I should paint it white to protect the trunk. I went to Home Depot and the staff confusingly pick out a can of interior white paint for me. I know this might be a dumb question, but is this the right paint?
