can cacti happily co-habitate with pine trees?

[bogfrog]

hey i was wondering if anyone knows if cacti can be planted in soil with pine trees growing around them?

we are looking at a primo wee spot for an outdoor cactus and succulent garden which gets great sun and is nice and dry, only thing is this is at the bottom corner of a pine block, and i know pines are acidic, would this acidity damage/kill the roots and or the plants eventually?

cheers, kea

PH can be raised with lime...get a PH soil tester.

I remember a fantastic cactus garden under a couple of Pinus trees from some member here. Ferret was he?
