Altering the soil pH is the effect of adding lime to fertilizer.
Specifically, lime acts to acidify the soil that is being fertilized. A more acidic soil comes up with a more acidic pH in soil analysis. Acidic pHs fall below the middle, neutral range on a 1-14 pH scale.

What types of trees cannot have lime fertilizer around them?
Trees that grow within a narrow range of acidity or neutrality cannot have lime fertilizer around them.Specifically, lime fertilizer acts to raise the soil pH. Trees that survive within a narrowly defined range of acidity cannot handle fluctuations that may be provoked by lime fertilizer applications. Similarly, trees that require soil pH levels within the neutral range do not respond well to even the slightest alkalinizing of soils.
