I have a small orchard that I am working to protect over the winter and had a question about what everyone does for risk of sun scald on trunks. I’ve adopted the aluminum window screen method for protection against girdling that many here have championed, but I wanted to know how, or if, I should do anything further to try and protect against sun scald. In the past, I had used the plastic tree guards to do this, but that was before reading about some of the risks of mice/voles getting inside and setting up shop all winter. Since I’ve now started using the window screen, it was not clear to me if I should try to put a tree guard around that or if the window screen itself provides some measure of protection against the sun scald risk. I am in central MN if this factors into how you might approach this. Appreciate any input here.
