I went to get some aluminum sulfate and the lady at old time farm supply recommended the fertilome soil acidifier with iron liquid. So I raked back the mulch, dumped the mix, sprinkled some elemental sulfur pellets, raked the mulch back, and watered it all in. I’ll report back with results. Thanks for the help.

Definitely keep this thread updated. I almost bought that stuff at my co op but bought regular iron chelate + aluminum sulfate instead. Fertilome makes good products regardless so that may work.

I would still add elemental sulfur to the soil as it’s a more permanent solution, even though it takes time.

ETA: I’ll see if I can find a photo of mine in my phone to post a before/after.

I wouldn't worry about that one too much. Your new growth looks good. It may have just gotten shocked by nutrient uptake when the pH dropped or something.
