Every time I passed by, I asked myself if it meant something important. Recently, I discovered that this simple trick carries a very specific purpose.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div id=\"weverydaystories.com_responsive_1\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23207117756\/weverydaystories.com\/weverydaystories.com_responsive_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"420\" data-end=\"548\">Tree planters use white paint as a protective measure, communicating crucial information about a tree\u2019s health and well-being.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"584\">What Tree Markings Mean<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"586\" data-end=\"753\">You might have seen other tree markings too. Orange dots often signal that a tree will be cut down, while purple marks indicate private property or \u201cno trespassing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"871\">But white paint serves a completely different role. It protects trees from a common winter threat called sunscald.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"908\">How Winter Damages Trees<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1861172\" data-uid=\"1663c\">\n<div id=\"mgw1861172_1663c\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\" data-template-type=\"container\">\n<div id=\"f863edc6-c639-11f0-85b1-d404e6774b40\" class=\"mgline teaser-25439810 type-w\" data-i=\"MKOmaijGM5dwnFj3hHEd8QvTvKC8uZ1sjOub2vMflY12QAVzAOtAqhH8qKWygvfhYeB98eQyb1THry6AJXxaSnc037FYS7moxyqcEjfDAlbyvxI_HH82-Bj3nL8gwV-Z\" data-observing-start=\"1763661300122\" data-observing-time=\"1314\" data-showed=\"1\">\n<div class=\"mgline-inner\">\n<p data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"1078\">During winter, trees face extreme temperature swings. Daytime sun heats the bark, causing it to expand.

This reduces the risk of cracks and splits caused by extreme temperature changes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1861172\" data-uid=\"0f1dd\">\n<div id=\"mgw1861172_0f1dd\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\" data-template-type=\"container\">\n<div id=\"f8956a67-c639-11f0-85b1-d404e6774b40\" class=\"mgline teaser-25439810 type-w\" data-i=\"MKOmaijGM5dwnFj3hHEd8QvTvKC8uZ1sjOub2vMflY12QAVzAOtAqhH8qKWygvfhYeB98eQyb1THry6AJXxaSnc037FYS7moxyqcEjfDAlbyvxI_HH82-Bj3nL8gwV-Z\" data-observing-start=\"0\" data-observing-time=\"0\">\n<div class=\"mgline-inner\">\n<p data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1540\">Think of it as sunscreen for trees.
