Answer 2

Usually part of the plant or even the whole plant is made of a material that requires acid. An example would be an evergreen tree. The needles need a lot of acid. You can tell they need acid and contain it because when they drop from the tree, they release acid back in the ground.

Answer 3

Abie's

• An evergreen fir tree, Abie's prefers moist soil with good drainage and full to partial sun. According to the Pennsylvania State University Cooperative Extension in Monroe County, the Royal Horticultural Society has noted the dwarf variety A. balsam ea Hudsonia as an award winning tree. It reaches only 18 inches tall and is manage

Azaleas

• With beautiful heads of clustering blossoms that come in a variety of colors, Azaleas (Rhododendrons) have long been cultivated in gardens across southern gardens where they thrive in the mild, moist weather. Very good drainage is important due to the plant's fragile root system, and Azaleas benefit from early morning sun and afternoon shade. The University of Missouri Extension recommends using only fertilizers specially designed for acid-loving plants.

Blueberries

• If you are seeking something sweet to grow, consider planting blueberries in your acidic soil. They are gorgeous plants for ornamental purposes, sporting a seemingly endless spray of white blossoms in the springtime, deep green glossy leaves in the summer, and bright crimson foliage in the fall. The added benefit is the blueberries, which you can use in baked goods, jelly, juice, freeze or eat fresh off the bush. Fruit production will be at its peak if planted in full sun.

Blue Hydrangeas

• Clemson Cooperative Extension explains French Hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla) have an unusual quality: the color varies based on the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. If planted in alkaline soils, this delightful cultivar would turn pink. However, in your acidic soil, your big, budding blossom heads would sport flowers of a blue hue. The science behind this phenomena is the availability of aluminum in the acidic soil, which results in a bluer flower shade. Whether in containers or on the ground, set hydrangeas in partial shade, use a good deal of organic matter in the soil and make sure the drainage is excellent.

Camillia

• A slow-growing climber, Camillia can reach up to 12 feet in height. Fragrant white blossoms will perfume the area, making them excellent choices near sitting areas, such as a patio or garden bench. Another benefit is that they bloom in late fall to early spring, so you can enjoy the flowering shrub in the winter when most other flowering plants are dormant. Camillia requires partial sun as it is prone to scorching, but also needs mild winters since it is frost tender. They are more likely to thrive in areas sheltered from wind and strong, direct light, such as the north side of a building.

Heather

• True heather is of the genus Calluna, a perennial evergreen native to Asia Minor and widely spread through Europe. It is a low-growing scrubby shrub that dresses in a spray of white, pink or purple flowers every summer and fall. The foliage itself can be a wide range of colors, from a deep gray-green to a fiery reddish-bronze. Heather is not a fussy plant as long as it is in a spot with good drainage and acidic soil. It can tolerate full sun to moderate shade and should be trimmed back in early spring to encourage new growth.

Answer 4

Most vegetables and fruits don't do as well in acidic soil. Usually you will need to add lime to your soil before planting a garden depending on the PH of your soil to start with. Many plants cannot absorb nutrients as well from the soil if it is too acidic. There are plants that do well if the soil is a little acidic. I know that centipede grass prefers a slightly acidic soil. Extremes in either direction is not good for most all plants. You really need to have your soil tested before assuming that you need to add anything that will change your PH.
