In winter, we all need to wear thick clothes to resist the cold wind. If you are a good observer of life, I believe you will find that not only people, but also many trees need to wear clothes. In fact, there are many reasons behind dressing trees in winter. If you are interested, let's have a look.

I. clothes of the tree

In fact, the clothes of trees are not all the same. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of clothes of trees, one is painted white, the other is wrapped dry. The function of the two kinds of clothes is also different. Most of the materials for white coating are stone sulfur mixture. Don't look down on such a layer of white coat. It can play a role of insect prevention for trees and make many trees free from pests. Wrapping and drying is also very common in winter. Wrapping and drying can be done with newspapers, straw and straw. Although the effect of newspapers is not as good as straw and straw, it can also play a role in keeping warm for trees.

2. The reason for dressing trees

1. Heat preservation: like human beings, trees in winter also need to be kept warm. No matter what material the clothes of trees are made of, they can play the role of heat preservation, prevent trees from frostbite, and enable trees to survive the cold winter safely, so as to have better growth in the next year..

2. Windbreak: the clothes of trees can be a good windbreak. There are many windy conditions in winter. As long as the clothes are protected, the impact of trees caused by the strong wind can be reduced, and the threat of cold wind to trees can be reduced.

3. Reduce water evaporation: compared with other seasons, in winter, not only the temperature is low, but also the humidity is relatively low. Many trees will reduce the probability of survival due to drought, and the clothes of trees can play a good role in this aspect. After one more layer, it can reduce the evaporation caused by the rapid change of temperature, not only isolate the relatively low temperature, but also keep the humidity.

4. Pest control: by the end of winter, many pests will also recover because of the warmer weather, and do harm to trees. But if trees wear a layer of coat, it's like there's an additional protective wall between trees and insects. For insects, it's difficult to get to the top of trees through a lot of obstacles. It indirectly protects trees and prevents pests. Why not? For that.

A good-looking tree.
