Hm OK Then I would suggest trying some sort of acid based correction.
Sulphate of Ammonia or similar.. Ask you nursery man or try this link

To be able to take up nutrient efficiently a tree or plant must have
a fairly neutral soil, unless it like the acid conditions...Then it will
cope...

Hope this webpage helps...
