Frankly, my preference is not to use lime sulfur as a fungicide. );-)

with respect to Prunus mume, I have not seen any adverse effects resulting from Ortho Funginex. However, leaves that become a "problem" on most deciduous trees can simply be removed and replaced by new growth.

Cordially,

Also, do not spray Apricots with lime sulfur.
You probably should extrapolate that to other members of the genus Prunus -- peaches, plums, almonds, nectarines, etc. While they may not be AS susceptible as apricots, they are a very closely related and easily crossed group. So at least be careful.
