Many gardeners like to grow pears, as the fruit has a unique taste and valuable beneficial properties.

The tree needs quality care so that the harvest is good and the fruits themselves are large, sweet and juicy.

But not only care procedures are important for the correct development of a tree, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a landscape designer and agronomist. Plants located nearby can play an important role.

What not to plant nearby

Juniper

This spectacular plant is valued by many for its excellent aesthetic properties: the plot looks much more impressive. But not everyone knows that juniper has a very negative effect on the pear.

Growing both crops in the same area significantly increases the risk of rust. To protect against the disease, the distance between plants should exceed ten meters.

Plum

Not everyone knows that plums are one of the worst options for neighbors. The main problem is that plums are more successful in terms of "getting" water and nutrients, so the pear gets nothing.

Cherry

The main difficulty of the neighborhood of two crops is that they have a common set of diseases and pests. Therefore, it is better to plant cherries and pears separately.
