Hi Iskhan

Guess that you have to find a soil that is balanced for each of those as close as you can so....
I think you will find the most ' fussy' will be the grape. They like a soil to be in the 5.3 to 6.ph range.

Guava is 5-7
Mango is 6- 7.2
Pomegranite and plum is anywhere around nuetral
Dates can tolerate up to 8-10 if they have too.

So as you can see unless your soil is way over or way under the neutral level then it should at least be able to grow all those together with some form of success.

Hi Jona
Thanks for reply.
It means Grapes,Guava & Mango required acidic soil and Dates required basic soil and Pomegranate & Java plum required neutral soil.

Not so much. Some plants are fussier than others, sounds like grapes the most from your list. Many plants have a range of conditions they can thrive in and a bigger range that they can tolerate, even if not thrive as well.

Sounds like JONA is telling you the guava, mango will do fine with slightly acidic to neutral, the pomegranate and plum will do fine with anywhere close to neutral (+ or - a little) and the date palms will be fine in slightly acid to basic soil.

So make your soil neutral and just acidify where the grapes are. Everything else will be fine with neutral soil.
