haha yah, as an experiment, I laid down sulfur pellets at the rate of about 4 tons per acre and ended up with soil that registered between 2 and 3 on the pH meter. The pH is now in the 4's due to irrigation with canal water. Surprisingly, the only trees that died were about 1/2 of the annona species I had planted out.Jeff: Where did you buy the Sulphur? Is there a source for truckloads of Sulphur in SFla? Thanks. FedericoWhat's wrong with sulfur?
Nothing if you monitor the soil's pH with a good pH meter AND more importantly know how to test your soil the right way, which few do - using deionized water as a carrier in the jar. Witnessed a friend's yard burn up when he got heavy handed on the sulfur. Pastules are an easy way to distribute but they are stubborn when it comes to breaking down. I've found that it takes a couple of years but at least it won't burn things up in most cases.

Those are dudes. The indicator that these are males is evidenced by where the flower meets the stem. Females do not taper off like that. They are generally the full diameter, or close to it, where they meet the stem. I have seen some huge male flowers 4-5 inches long and almost 2 inches in diameter. Sometimes males have a texture that is very rough and similar to a female's. I have also seen she-males, males flowers with female sections.
