Why Do People Paint the Bottom of Trees White?
Hmm:
http://www.ehow.com/about_5415717_do-paint-bottom-trees-white.html
Apparently:
Helps prevent
sunscald
Protecting against sunscald can prevent openings for tree boring insects
Prevent splitting of the bark in cold weather
Probably other reasons. Some white mixtures seem to contain alkaline substances for insect and snail protection.
