I would like a complete list of all acid loving fruit trees and also shrubs.

The tree is around 10 or more years old. Someone told me to
make a mixture of something (I can't remember what) and pour around the tree trunk a few feet out in circumference. What is this liquid and how to make it?
The mixture is spoze to help keep the fruit from getting spotty..there'll are always brown spots on my friut and the leaves turn yellow
What is the mixture supposed to do for the tree?

I'm not a gardener, just a total novice with a very small garden wanting to grow something. My question: Can I put water retaining gel in the bottom of the containers when planting, or would it affect drainage or be detrimental to the root system of the trees?
You can do this, and many people do (the filling in diapers is commonly used for this, though official water retaining gels are used as well). There is some concern from some people about how these chemically created gels can affect plants that are used as edibles. You may want to take this into account when growing edibles with these gels, but in terms of does it work, yes it does and helps keep water in the soil for the plant without danger of root rot.
I live in a rural area with lots of whitetail deer. I have a fenced in veggie garden. I also have a large fenced in dog yard. What are your thoughts on putting a few fruit trees in an area that has been used by dogs for years?
As long as the fruit is not coming in contact with any dog droppings, it should be fine. I would have the soil tested for pH, just in case. If it is a smaller yard, the urine from the dogs may have affected the pH.
I believe you can grow fruit trees in containers and train them on a fan shaped trellis/support. Any info please (e.g. which trees, how to train, best height to keep tree to, etc.)?
