I am looking for dormant spray. The Lime Sulphur type as a fungicide. I have peaces, apples, pears, plums. Lilly Miller products are not on the shelf in traditional stores like Home Depot and Ace Hardware. I saw online that it has been discontinued. What else can be used and where can I find it locally? SW Portland?

Russ,
Lilly Miller not making lime sulfur anymore is a terrible loss for home users. I personally used Bordeaux mix but I'm hoping OSU will publish some other options soon. Fixed copper or substitute "MCE" has a long history of success as a dormant fungicide. As a OSU master gardener all I can say is read the labels, follow the directions and hope for the best.
