What is the best soil?
Question:What type of soil should be used for planting seeds for fruit trees?
Answers:
Deep, well-drained soil of moderate fertility should be selected. A fertile, sandy loam or sandy clay loam is suitable for most tree fruits. Adequate water drainage is the most important soil characteristic. Poor fertility may easily be improved by proper fertilization and cultural practices. Improving soil with poor internal drainage is difficult and expensive. Moderately fertile soil is desirable; deep, well-drained soil is vital.
The very best soil for anything at all is bonsai soil. It can be drenched, but it will let out the water and only retain an adequate level of humidity. No root rot ever develops in bonsai soil, but you have to water the container more often.
