Since it's one of the few things that we really can contol and use to our advantage, a good soil mixture is probably the biggest thing on our minds. Getting a soil that retains enough water, but drains well.... that retains nutrients without soil collapse.... that stays within the pH range of the tree... and that promotes good, healthy roots because of being a positive environment for root growth, is very important to everyone.
