They seem quite happy with fairly poor soil. We plant ours in the shade of an large apple tree and a berberis, in deepish holes with a bit of well-rotted compost [not manure] at the bottom, a little fish/blood/bone, lots of water, and then keep them well watered for the first six months. All have flourished.
