pH Ranges Preferred by Fruit
Fruit also prefer to grow in soil which has a certain pH.
As mentioned in previous posts, all plants have a preferred pH range; that is, every plant must be planted in soil that has the amount of acidity or alkalinity it prefers. Only then can it absorb all the needed nourishment from the soil.
In this table you are given the preferred pH range for various fruit.
