I'm from Merida, and asked my father the same question, he said the white paint is to prevent ants from
climbing up the trees.

@RussianAlfonso its like a protection for bugs.

My beautiful merida

@RussianAlfonso lower tree trunks are painted in white (solution called cal = stuco? ) to protect them from bugs, antsetc that eat leafs. thats the only reason and it works! if you travel all around Mexico, trees are protected like that. Merida is a beautiful city!

@RussianAlfonso In India too big trees along the main road are painted with white color - probable reason we know is to make this paint act as reflectors of headlights of automobiles providing safety.

@abdiver12 I have a feeling that you had drug dealers in your mind,but in Mexico there is a loooooot of very wealthy families that they are an old money and they own buissneses. It is like everywhere else ! If you see a wealthy american or canadian ,do you ask the same question ,or wright away you think about them having a buissness or a good job ! The rich mexicans do not go to the USA to work as landscapers or dish washers,they hire maids,gardneres and chauffeurs on their own !

@RussianAlfonso YES. Its not paint. It is a combination of clay, sea salt, and other medication to prevent ants, and other insects from climbing the tree.

@jdajos i agree with you
I love Merida. It's a great city.
I was there in December and it was 85 degrees F and up. I'll bet April is really hot. I'm from Detroit, not used to that sort of weather.

Yeah, we're from Toronto so we're not used to the hot weather either. I'd say the temperature was in the low 90s F for most of the trip (but since we're Canadian we think of it as mid-30s Celsius, eh?) ;)
