IV Organic® 3-in-1 Plant Guard for trees and shrubs, (such as Fruit & Nut Trees, Ornamental Trees, Roses & Shrubs). Used by home gardeners and orchard growers to protect tree trunks and branches from sunburn (summer), sunscald (winter), repel insects and rodents. For use in organic production. Healthier than latex paint & tar based products -- IV Organic dries on porous allowing moisture and nutrients to pass (ex. pruned branches & foliar feeding) through coated surfaces.
FIRST DEFENSE: Apply IV Organic® 3-in-1 Plant Guard to provide a shield against the sun’s harmful rays that cause sunburn during the hottest summers day– as well as sunscald which is caused when the temperature abruptly rises too high during the cold winter months. Both Sunburn and Sunscald cause the tree’s bark to crack and/ or die– resulting in additional stress which get compounded by insects and parasites that enter the barkless wood– an invasion that will ultimately shorten the tree’s life.
SECOND DEFENSE: Apply IV Organic® 3-in-1 Plant Guard to provide a shield against beetles, termites and other wood boring, chewing & piercing type insects. Organic & effective time release defense with 7 natural oils, including castor, cinnamon, clove, garlic, peppermint, rosemary & spearmint oils.
THIRD DEFENSE: Apply IV Organic® 3-in-1 Plant Guard to provide a shield that repels most rodents that may gnaw on the tree’s bark. This product contains castor oil, which comes from the Castor Tree Seed, and naturally makes everything coated with this product taste horrible!
Product can be used as a brush-on, foliar spray or tree paste-- depending on how much water is added. Pint-size makes up to 5 gallons of foliar spray for complete plant protection.
