Ortho no longer makes its lime sulphur sprays. I’ve been searching
for this product for over a year and can’t find it anywhere in my
area. I did write to Ortho directly to find out they discontinued
it.

I found the lime sulfur a few years ago in the garden department of
a Lowes

What is the chemical formula for “lime sulphur”. Liver of Sulphur
is potassium sulphide.

It drives me crazy when I want something and can’t find it. And to
hear that others are looking for something and can’t find is like a
challenge to me. Plus, I woke up in the middle of the night, couldn’t
turn my brain off, and here I am, reading Orchid.

A search on Google for “lime sulphur” brought up a lot of bonsai
links, and many links to agricultural colleges and agencies, as well
as a link to a company called Laters that does business in Canada.
Most of the links that led to a product page showed products and
described what they were used for but nowhere did they say what the
product contained! Eventually, I found a product, brand name
“Hi-Yield” (http://homeharvest.com/diseaseandfungus.htm) that is a
concentrated lime-sulphur.

What I’d do is call all the garden centers in your area. Or, your
town’s garden club! It seems that any serious gardener will know
about lime-sulphur. Employees at Lowe’s or Home Depot (unless they
happen to be avid gardeners) aren’t likely to know what’s in a
product; that’s why, when you ask if they have “x,” they always ask
“What are you going to use it for?”

Christine - I also conducted an incredibly intensive search - there
is virtually no place in Florida (at least 50 inquiries turned up
negative) that will have lime sulfur - we don’t have apple orchards
around here. However, I located a supply in Ellijay, Ga that will
ship to Florida. Their URL is
ORCHARD SUPPLIES and I ordered 1
quart to be sent, $7.99 plus S&H for a total of $14.95. So for any
of the Florida people who need some, this is probably the best place
to get it.
