Solabiol SOBLANC3 Tree Trunk Whitewash 3 L - Natural Protection for Trunks

Solabiol SOBLANC3 Tree Trunk Whitewash 3 L (Reference: SOBLANC3) represents excellence in the natural protection of trees. This traditional lime-based product, ready to use, carries on a method proven over centuries to protect the trunks of fruit and ornamental trees effectively. Formulated mainly with calcium hydroxide, it offers an environmentally respectful way to keep your trees healthy.

Applications and benefits for your trees

Solabiol SOBLANC3 tree whitewash is aimed at all gardeners keen to preserve the health of their trees by natural methods. It is perfectly suited to professional fruit growers as well as to keen private gardeners. This product has its place in the care of orchards, ornamental gardens and urban green spaces.

Applied during the winter period, it creates a protective physical barrier that prevents the spread of parasites, fungi, moss and lichen. This protection is particularly effective against harmful insects that seek shelter in the crevices of the bark. The product also acts as a natural healing agent by filling cracks and wounds, thereby reducing the entry points for pathogens.

Composition and technical features

The formulation of Solabiol SOBLANC3 is based on calcium hydroxide, guaranteeing a safe and environmentally respectful composition. This slaked lime, in line with traditional standards, offers excellent adhesion to the bark while keeping its protective properties for several months.

The product comes as a homogeneous white suspension in a practical 3-litre bucket. This quantity is enough to treat 2 to 3 medium-sized trees, depending on their girth. Being a traditional natural product, it is normal for some sedimentation to occur over time, which simply calls for stirring before use.

The optimised texture makes brush application easy without excessive running, ensuring uniform and lasting coverage. Its ready-to-use formulation removes any preparation constraints, allowing immediate use as soon as the bucket is opened.

Application and instructions for use

The Solabiol tree whitewash is best applied during the winter period, when the trees are dormant and weather conditions are stable. Choose a day with no frost forecast and no rain expected in the following 24 hours.

Before application, prepare the surface carefully by cleaning the bark with a wire brush to remove moss, lichen and dead bark. This crucial step ensures better adhesion of the product. Then stir the contents of the bucket to make the mixture homogeneous.

Use a flat brush of suitable width to apply the whitewash in even layers on the trunk, from the base up to the first branches. Make sure to cover sensitive areas such as forks and pruning wounds well. Application requires no particular protective equipment, as the product is formulated to be safe for the user.

Expert advice and getting the best results

To get the most from the treatment, plan the application for late autumn or early winter, after the leaves have fallen but before the first significant frosts. This optimal period lets the product adhere well and build its protective barrier before the harsh winter conditions arrive.

Round out your protection strategy by combining the tree whitewash with other products from the Multitanks range: healing paste for large pruning wounds, pheromone traps to monitor pests, or organic fertilisers to strengthen the vigour of the trees.

Check the condition of the coating regularly during the winter. If necessary, carry out a local touch-up on areas where the product has deteriorated after bad weather. For particularly sensitive trees or in regions with a harsh climate, consider renewing the treatment each year.

Store the product in a cool, dry place, protected from frost. Close the bucket carefully after use to prevent it from drying out. A well-stored product keeps its properties over several seasons.
