Orange Tree Bark Peeling

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

Hello citrus experts,

I was wondering if any of you could help me identify the reason why my orange tree is peeling off on the upper bark. I read on another discussion the main trunk should be painted white with either white wash or white latex paint. How often should be painted? Mine has not being painted for a few years, but I am not sure that is the problem since the peeling is occurring in the upper part of the bark.

The tree is in Phoenix, Arizona.

Thank you for your replies.
