Some of the oldtimers in our club suggested using the slats from miniblinds to mark your trees with information. The slightly curved, coated aluminum surface is ideal for writing on with pencil and sticking into the soil.

Enlarging on that idea, I am going to paint the top of each marker either green, for acid loving plant; or yellow, for base plants; or red for trees that prefer very little fert. That way it's easier to give them their dose of ferts.

Anyone have any other suggestions for how the plants should be classified at a glance?
