Sharing a bed ...

19 years ago

I'm in the process of planning a sort of "fruit" bed that will include, among other things, six blueberry bushes. I understand they require acidic soil, perhaps 4 or 5, in order to thrive. I was hoping to include three or four fruit trees in this same planting space (figs in particular), but i understand fruit trees need a ph of 6 or 7. Can blueberries and fruit trees successfully share a bed, in spite of their respective ph preferences?

I'm thinking i may have to modify my "vision" for the "fruit bed." I suppose i could plant roses around the blueberry bushes, with a conifer for height, as i think they both favor acidic soil. Somehow, though, i can't quite see that working esthetically.

Any advise?
