Weekly Tree Talk
For Sturdy Trees: Give Them
SMeet-SOur Soil They Prefer

Sweet-SOur Soil They Prefer
Most shade trees grow best in
soils slightly acid. Some, however,
like it a little sweeter (akaline)
than others.
There is a definite relationship
between the balance of soil acidity
and thriftiness of a tree, according
to Don Cantwell, District Manager
of the Bartlett Tree Expert Co.
Planting a tree that like neutral
soil in one more acid won't kill it.
The tree simply will not grow we'll
because soil nutrients are tied up
and are not readily available.
Tree specialists today are devot-
ing more attention to soil re-
quirements than ever before. There
are quicker methods of determin-
ing soil acidity. And the acidity or
alkalinity can be promptly regu-
lated by the addition of the right
amount of lime Ito make soils
sweeter) or aluminium sulfate or
sulfur, or an oak leaf mulch Ito
increase acidity).
Soil damage and structure, tenn
perature and rainfall, as well as
food materials must also be taken
into account. In many new homes
developments soil acidity and other
factors are not taken into consider
alton when valuable shade trees
and shrubs are planted. In a few
years poor growth and lack of
thriftiness become startingly evil
dent.
Soil acidity is expressed by a
chemical symbol, PHI. A pH4 read
ing is extremely acid; ph10 is ex-
tremely alkaline.
Here is a list of common shade
trees and shrubs and their PHI re-
quirements:
Acid (pH4 to pH6)
Azalea, birch, white cedar, chest
nut, fir, hemlock, laurel, magnolia,
mountain ash, pine, willow oak,
rhododendron, spruce, Pin oak
(DH5-6.5).
Slightly Acid (pH6 to PHO
Douglas fir, ginkgo, hop horn
beam, black oak, red oak, red ce-
dar, sassafras, shadow, sweetgum,
tulip tree.
Neutral (pII6 to pH 81
Apple, arborvitae, ash, beech,
lockwood, cherry, cotton ester, dog

Portable and less shy If

that several mothers have
taken this literally and
when their youngsters have

procedure prevails.
