Planting an apple tree is not an easy task, and when doing so, a summer resident must take into account many nuances.
First of all, you need to choose the most suitable place for the fruit tree.
So, the area should be freely exposed to light. At the same time, it should be protected from strong wind.
In addition, there are requirements for the soil condition. It is desirable that the soil be neutral.
Another important factor is the "neighborhood". You need to make sure that there are no crops near the apple tree that will compete with the tree for nutrients.
Unfortunately, many gardeners forget about this nuance and plant an apple tree next to a plant that poses a serious danger to the “main character” of the article.
An unsuitable "neighbor" for an apple tree
The gardener must remember: under no circumstances should an apple tree be allowed to grow next to a cherry tree.
The fact is that the root systems of these trees negatively influence each other.
Thus, the close location of an apple tree and a cherry tree will result in the summer resident receiving a poor harvest of both fruits and berries.
