Default Sulphur to lower pH for iron chlorosis in pin oak trees

There is no way I would put the
sulfur
12" deep. I would think it would move downward rather then upward.
Actually I would" (WOULD WHAT???)

Please finish your thought. Thanks again!


I am not sure. I would place it on top and then apply mulch over it? Just
a thought. Also a biodynamic farmer once explained to me that any chemicals
going to the tree, can be mixed in the chip pile as it is composting. He
placed everything he was adding to the chip pile and then to the tree. Just
a thought.
