Can you grow chestnuts in the garden next to fruit trees: a clear answer
Many summer residents, madly in love with the “candles” of chestnut trees, do not want to deny themselves the pleasure of admiring the view of flowering trees and plant these plants in their own gardens.
This raises a reasonable question: will such a neighborhood harm familiar crops such as apple or pear trees? The answer was shared by an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Yes, you can grow chestnut trees next to fruit trees.
Chestnuts are hardy, undemanding trees that can grow in a variety of conditions, including drought, heat and frost.
They can also grow well in both shade and sun, making them a great choice not only for city parks but also for country gardens.
However, before planting chestnut trees, you should consider that they may compete for water and nutrients with other trees.
Therefore, if you plan to plant chestnut trees near fruit trees, make sure you provide them with enough water and nutrients.
It is also recommended to plant chestnut trees at some distance from fruit trees to leave them with enough space to grow and develop.
