Numbering trees

[ragowda]

Friends,

We have some 500 teak tress which are 8 years old. Since I want to mark the tree with numbers, which is right way (and how) to mark the tree?

Like should we scrap the teak tree bark and paint it or will it damage the tree if we scrap the bark etc etc.

Please do let me know your suggestion.

Thanks,
Raghu

Please do not scrap the tree bark. It is as good as injuring it.

Instead, paint the number using dissolved limestone. Mix the limestone powder with water. Paint the numbers, just one paints milestones.

If it is erased, you have to repaint. But, it is environment friendly and cheap. Also, lime keep insects away!
