Default [IBC] Lime Sulfer

Is it possible to use lime sulfur to give a fairly young ficus the
bleached look of older trees? If so, how would I apply it?


Bleached deadwood is mostly a feature of conifers -- pines,
junipers, spruce, bald cypress and the like.

It is seldom used on deciduous trees, and almost never on
evergreens -- especially tropical evergreens such as Ficus.

It is never applied to bark or live wood.

So the answers are "no" and "you wouldn't."
