These ornamental plants will suck all the valuables out of the soil: vegetables and fruits will get nothing
Experienced gardeners have warned about what popular ornamental plants are capable of.
Many owners of plots decorate their home territory with thujas, pines, spruces, and firs.
However, before planting these trees, it is worth knowing about important points. These nuances may make you change your mind about planting these plants or force you to find another place for them.
Disadvantages of coniferous trees
1. Coniferous trees increase soil acidity. This environment has a negative effect on many plants.
2. These plants have a powerful root system. It extends far beyond the crown. If there are beds nearby, the plantings will have to fight for food. The coniferous tree will win the confrontation, and the loser will have to be content with little.
3. Plants provide dense shade. This is definitely not good for fruit plants growing nearby.
Gardeners who have experience growing conifers do not discourage planting them, but recommend planning the plot wisely and not trying to grow a decent harvest of tomatoes or apples if thuja or spruce trees grow nearby.
