Last year we used it on a few newly planted avocado trees in Fallbrook to protect from the sun, rabbits nibbling on the bark, and grasshoppers. The grasshoppers and rabbits stopped chewing on them, but all the trees seemed stunted in their growth and one died. Other trees and seedlings without the IV Organics grew fine and outgrew the grasshopper damage and new growth of leaves shaded the branches from sun damage. The green clay is still persistent on the branches even after a year, we will not be using it again.
