Thought this may be helpful... gathered from a variety of nursey sources. Range is generalized adjust for specific variety. Soil PH can be lowered by adding sulfur, soil PH can be increased by adding lime. When using sulfur of lime, always read and follow the label. It's good to check the soil PH at the end of the growing season and admend appropriately, especially if you apply sulfur as a fungicide.
