White Art … Green Fingers
Is it art or can it be removed? This is what our guests ask themselves when they look at the trees in white on the finca. What’s behind this bizarre layer of paint? The answer is: We protect our more than 40 years old mango-trees from the sun with a layer of slaked lime and various admixtures. This was necessary after a rejuvenation pruning for the trees again to be able to sprout vigorously after two dry winters. But without a top they had no protection from the sun. The lime will disappear eventually – best by being washed off by the next rain.
