So do pawpaws like sulfur or do they just dislike a pH 8 soil?  This winter, 
the Brittany puppy chewed or ate all the branches of my first pawpaw to set 
flower buds.  He's a highly motivated little guy.  I'd kind of like to sulfur 
him, but would worry about putting elemental sulfur around any plant I'm not 
trying to take to pH 3.
