Gentlemen:
Please find below our top secret recipe. We have never had any adverse effects from exterior paint in fact we add the fungicide to help protect the tree against wounds and the thiram acts as a rodent repellent. We use the cheapest white exterior paint that we can find and generally spray it on as a white wash with a handgun from the bottom twelve inches of the scaffold limbs to the ground. Hope that this helps. PEACH TREE PAINT RECIPE. 1 GAL WHITE EXTERIOR LATEX PAINT 2 GAL WATER. ( 1 PART PAINT X 2 PARTS WATER ) ½ POUND OF THIRAM PER GALLON OF WHITEWASH. 2 TABLESPOONS OF TOPSIN-M PER GALLON OF WHITEWASH. MIX WHITEWASH, AND ADD THIRAM AND TOPSIN-M. STIR THOROUGHLY. APPLY TO THE TREES WITH PAINT BRUSHES OR SPRAY GUN 12 TO 18 INCHES AFTER SCAFFOLDS WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ABOVE 50 DEGREES F. Kurt W. Alstede General Manager, Alstede Farms, LLC P.O.
