...and the white stuff...the sulfur: Upon removal of leaves and vines, I treat the wounds with a dispersion in ethanol (some sulfur powder mixed with technical grade ethanol...like 94% ethanol), in the course of an hour some of the sulfur will dissolve in the ethanol, but most of it will remain a dispersion). Painting the wounds with this dispersion does some immediate disinfection (because of the ethanol), and it leaves behind some sulfur, which helps to keep that area disinfected and dry. In addition to the sulfur particles (the dispersed sulfur), the small amounts of sulfur which had dissolved in the ethanol will form a homogeneous thin layer of sulfur across the entire treated area and won´t fall off upon drying.
