The botanical name for asparagus is Asparagus officinalis.
Asparagus is a spring vegetable that is native to most of Europe, northern Africa and western Asia. It is a hardy perennial adapted to USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8 in well-drained soils with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5.
A vegetable with a pH of 5.3 would be considered mildly acidic on the pH scale. The pH scale ranges from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most basic/alkaline), with 7 being neutral. pH values below 7 indicate acidity, so a vegetable with a pH of 5.3 falls into this category.
