If you spot white-painted trees, you had better know what it means.

No matter what you think about the internet, it has become an essential tool in almost every aspect of our lives.

In addition to keeping us connected with loved ones, it holds more information than ten thousand libraries combined. Plus, this knowledge is just a few clicks away.

In the past, you had to search through many books or find an expert to answer a question about a rare topic. Now, the internet can provide an accurate answer to almost any question you have.

If you frequently visit our website, you may have read articles that aim to clarify peculiarities in our surroundings. For instance, we discuss the significance of a large star on a barn or the meaning behind a man having one painted fingernail. Have you ever wondered about the appearance of square waves near the shore of the ocean?

We have attempted to address all of these inquiries and more. That is why, when we stumbled upon an enigmatic image on the internet depicting trees with white-painted trunks, we opted to conduct some investigation.

Currently, there appears to be a great deal happening in the realm of trees. In a previous month, we discussed the potential explanation for curved trees found in the forest. Additionally, it seems that paint splattered on a tree’s bark follows a specific color code, which can provide information about the tree’s well-being and what lies ahead for it.

Trees could potentially have an orange dot marked on them if they are scheduled for removal in the near future. Conversely, it is said that purple markings on a tree might signify that the tree is situated on private property.

What about trees that are colored white?

Before doing some research on the subject, we must confess that we had no idea what this meant (thanks to the internet). According to reports, trees are painted white during winter to shield them from getting sunburned!

It’s not a joke – it’s not only pale middle-aged men who need to be careful of the sun while on a tropical beach. Trees need to be cautious as well.

Most trees are outside, so they are affected by temperature changes. The sun warms up the bark during the day, making it expand. But when it gets colder at night, the bark cools down and shrinks quickly.

The tree’s trunk can be damaged when the bark splits due to these changes.

And this is where the mentioned white paint comes into play. When it is applied to a tree, it assists in reflecting the sun’s rays, which helps in keeping the trunk from getting excessively hot during the day.
