It's not. It's available in romanian online stores, but I don't think it would be worth for the OP to buy it from here.Seems that it is illegal in EU area now

Kaizen, bonsai4me shop, and Tony tickle just did a youtube video on it and has some for sale too.
Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
Also check veterinarian supplies. I used "lime sulfur dip" for my bonsai because it was much less expensive than "bonsai sulfur".
You are looking for "Sulfurated lime solution" as close to 100% as possible. The one I use is 97.8%. No other active ingredients.
FWIW you can make your own if you can get your hands on sulfur and hydrated lime/quicklime. Make sure you are outdoors. Make sure you warn your neighbors

Yeah, don't do that. Just.. Sulfur is nasty stuff and it can be quite unpredictable to do this stuff in your backyard without knowledge of chemical procedures.FWIW you can make your own if you can get your hands on sulfur and hydrated lime/quicklime.

I remember a well educated friend who thought he could dump a bottle of 96% sulfuric acid down the drain.. His toilet bursted apart and not only were the nasties everywhere, those nasties had a pH value of -10 (negative, yes). His dumpster caught fire because he sweeped it up with paper towels, which caught fire later that evening.
Go with the bottled stuff. I remember the farmers stores having it around.

interesting comment on the legality of lime sulphur. Unfortunately shipping to Ireland is the issue for me.Lime Sulphur - Bonsai Jin Whitener & Deadwood Preserver

theres a bonsai association called nibs in Ireland, maybe contact them. or is it Northern ireland.
If you do check it out, pay attention to the word below the name of the product. Make sure it says "Fungicid", like in the photo. In the spring, when I was looking to buy for myself, I came across some that was a fertilizer or something, not a fungicide.Thank you. Will check it out
