There will be so many fruits on the plum tree that you will have to look for more buckets.
The secret of a rich harvest lies not only in carefully selected fertilizers. Plants that grow near the plum tree play a significant role.
Some gardeners spontaneously fill a plot with crops without thinking about plant compatibility.
Sometimes they guess a good combination by chance, and in some cases their neighbors turn out to be "sworn enemies." Then the gardeners wonder why the harvest is bad.
There is a list of plants that should be planted away from the plum tree, otherwise the number of fruits on the tree will be disappointing.
What should not be planted next to a plum tree
1. Apple and pear. The trees will compete for nutrients, development will slow down, and the harvest will decrease.
2. Bushes. It has been noted that raspberries and black currants have a negative effect on plum fruiting.
3. Apricot and peach. These southern guests are also undesirable neighbors for plum, although these crops are grown much less often.
4. Birch. This tree has a negative impact on many fruit crops. Thanks to its well-developed root system, birch successfully pumps water and nutrients from the soil far beyond the trunk circle.
