Most of us know that Rhododendrons and Camellias like acidic soils. But what else can
you plant under those pine trees? Here's a sampling of approximately 200 other plants
that like soils in the pH range of 5 to 6.
Try planting lowbush or highbush blueberries, they're a four season performer --
white blossoms in early spring, tasty fruit in mid-summer, colorful autumn foliage,
and attractive bare stems in winter.
