Great Video! I have been working with and creating bonsai for about 2.5 to 3 years now. I am at the point where I need to work with dead wood. This video couldn't have come at a better time. I have a Barberry bonsai that needs lime sulfur and I really did not know much about it until now. Thanks you for your knowledge.

@shwoop10388 - Glad you liked it! North Star is doing a few more of these. This being the first, the quality and content of the videos will get better. So stay tuned =o)

You might want to write it down beforehand and rehearse what it is you want to say, before you switch on the camera, Tom.

Lime sulfur leaves the subject looking horrible. It makes it look fake. Why do people keep using it? At least he puts ink in the mixture to wash out the white.

I am just new at this, and I have a couple of questions. You said that this strong solution would kill living tissue, and it appears that you are applying this solution to a living tree.. Is not the whole tree living, or is part of it dead already? Also, you said that a weak solution of LS would protect from fungus and insects... can you use it for lillys and roses, etc. Thank you.
