Lime - Sulfur

[PaulH]

I've been having trouble finding Lime - Sulfur for treating deadwood. I've always used Ortho Dormant Disease Control but none of the local nurseries / Garden Centers carry it anymore.
I finally found it online at www.groworganic.com and thought I'd pass the info along.

Thanks Paul, note at the bottom of the page these notes -

California commercial growers are required to send us a copy of their Operator Identification form.

This product cannot be shipped to MI.

Maybe the "ban " in the other thread is just there. MI, and Ca..

Add WA to that list... but it appears to be a voluntary pulling of the product by the producers themselves. So as supply dries up... maybe others will step up to fill the demand.

Also look carefully at the label on lime sulfur preparations at garden centers.

I've seen one sold by Ortho that is a dormant oil/lime sulfur mix that is NOT suitable for bonsai purposes. It contains oil, which makes a mess when applied to deadwood. I don't know if it's still being sold, however.

There's an option to state that you are not a commercial grower and they'll ship to you.

I just bought 2.5 gal lime sulfur from this store. Really cheap! It is also selling neem oil and it is cheap too. So, I want to share with you whoever needs those products.

p/s: however it does not sell to some states due to regulation.

I've never tried it, but it seems as though it's possible to make it once it becomes too hard to find.

Just make sure the neighbors you DON'T like are downwind. I didn't see that step in the instructions.

Looks like it's not registered for sale in almost every other state...hmmm....

Is Jim Gremel no longer offering it? I got some from him the last time I saw him at the BIB show.

2.5 GALLONS?!?!? I bought a pint 3 years ago and I still have a half pint.

What do you do with 2.5 gallons of the stuff?

1. pesticide and fungicide.
2. wood reserve.
3. share with my teacher and my friends.
