A family of plants which require for their normal growth an acid soil(a soil free from lime or magnesium). The act of transplanting any plant to a new location and causing rootgrowth which makes the plant as capable in its new location as in itsold location, of continuing normal growth. Plants with persistent leaves. These plants drop but a small portionof the old leaves each year, and may be conifers, broad-leaved ever-greens, or opposite-leaved evergreens. Plant food, either directly available, or which upon nitrification willbe available for use by the plant. Many fertilizers (such as sheepmanure and dried blood) contain plant food in an immediately solubleform for plant requirements or in a form (such as bone meal and limerock) which does not become available until after a period of chemicalreaction. |
