This reminds me of a question I've wondered about for a few years now. Why
do people paint the trunks of palm trees white? Living very far from any
palm trees, there's no one local I can ask.

I was at the nursery and I noticed, especially for the fruit trees,
that they had white paper sleeves around the trunks of the trees...

Does anyone know why they do that, and will that benefit other trees
as well?
