Orchard Lime
Natural protection of fruit trees against frost and professional soil deacidification. Ecological barrier without chemicals.
Ecological Protection
Lime for Orchards and Agriculture
Winter temperature fluctuations can cause freezing and cracking of fruit tree tissues. Whitewashing trunks with milk of lime is a proven protection method — it reflects the sun's rays during the day and prevents sudden night-time temperature drops on the bark. The product is also indispensable in regulating soil pH, translating to better nutrient assimilation by the root system.
Our orchard lime is a pure natural product (96% CaO), slaked using traditional methods, which guarantees excellent adhesion and long-lasting protective action in all weather conditions.
Effectiveness and Standards
1 kg of lime putty dissolved in 2 liters of water is enough to effectively deacidify up to 25 m² of soil surface. Product regularly tested in laboratories.
- Certificate: PN-63/B-01306, PN-B-30022:1996
- High yield: 1 kg of putty per 25 m² of deacidification
- Natural product — safe for soil microorganisms
Why use it?
Benefits of Whitewashing and Protection
Preventing Wounds
Reflects sunlight, preventing excessive heating of the trunks, which eliminates the risk of bark cracking and frost-induced galling.
Strengthening Plants
Improves plant condition by optimizing the pH of the substrate. Stimulates the development of beneficial bacteria and strengthens root system immunity.
100% Eco Solution
Fully biodegradable, completely free from chemical hardeners. Safe for groundwater, bees, and your future crops.
Technical Recommendations
Dosing and Application
Trunk Whitewashing
Lime : water
1 kg : 2 L
A proportion ensuring a durable and thick protective layer on the tree bark.
Soil Deacidification
Yield
1 kg / 25 m²
Spread the solution (1:2) over the soil, and then thoroughly dig it in.
Application Timing
Whitewashing
Jan – Feb
Best results upon application on sunny, rain-free days above 0°C.
Storage
Temperature
+5 – +25°C
Store in sealed packaging. Strictly protect from frost.
Step by step
Whitewashing tree trunks
Preparation
Prepare milk of lime: 1 kg of lime putty per 2 L of water. Mix precisely to a uniform consistency.
Application
Apply with a brush to tree trunks and the bases of thicker branches. Paint every bark crevice thoroughly.
Protection
Paint the southern side of the trunks slightly higher — it heats up the most from the sun side and is most exposed.
Timing
Perform the procedure in January–February, preferably on a rain-free day when the temperature is above 0°C.
Instructions
Soil deacidification
Dissolve 1 kg of lime putty in 2 L of water. Spread it evenly (e.g. spray the soil entirely), and then simply dig it in by turning the soil so the lime decisively reaches deeper strata.
Packaging and storage
- Foil bags: 3 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg
- Buckets: 4 kg, 6 kg, 13 kg
- Store at temp: +5°C to +25°C (protect from frost)
