Lime Trees can grow in a sandy loam soil.
The roots are fairly shallow and this soil type has good drainage.
You will want to add about 25% organic material to the planting hole. For a 12″ planting hole add about 3 inches of compost to the soil area and work in before digging the hole.
Lime Trees prefer a soil Ph level from 6.0 to 7.5 with 6.5 being ideal.
You will want to have a soil test done prior to planting to make any adjustment to the soil.
