Trees - acid soil loving
Some of the most stunning ornamental trees prefer, or only tolerate, acid soils. These include many acers other than the Japanese forms. The paperbark maple^, and the red maple are notable forms. In addition Katsuras with their autumnal chocolate fragrance, and liquidambars and Nyssa for outstanding autumn colour are some of the many choices available to you.
