Fruit trees can be found in any area, because everyone wants to enjoy fruits grown by themselves.
This way you can be sure that your trees have been protected from chemicals.
However, in order for an apple tree to produce a quality harvest, it is important to protect it from the wrong neighbors, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What plants should not be planted next to an apple tree
Potato
If we are talking about young apple trees, then potatoes can destroy them, as they actively use nutrients from the soil. If you plant the vegetable next to adult trees, then in this case the potatoes themselves will be left without nutrition.
Therefore, it is definitely not worth planting plants nearby.
Fir
There is no direct competition between the trees, but it is worth remembering that the presence of fir leads to increased soil acidity.
As a result, the apple tree will develop extremely poorly and will stop producing fruit.
Cherry with peach
Despite the fact that these crops seem quite harmless, they can easily leave the apple tree without nutrition. Therefore, they should be planted far from each other.
