It is not uncommon to hear complaints from gardeners that trees bear fruit poorly, and sometimes do not grow at all.
According to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the reason may be hidden in the "neighbors" that are not suitable for them.
Today we invite you to talk about the plum tree, which many summer residents treat somewhat “familiarly” - rarely does anyone really take good care of the tree, but despite this, they wait a long time for the fruit.
It will be good if this hour X comes – in most cases, you may not wait for purple, yellow or pink fruits at all.
So, it is pointless to hope for a bountiful harvest if a pear or currant grows next to a plum.
The list of undesirable neighbors also included coniferous plants, walnut and birch.
According to experienced summer residents, the above-mentioned crops simply cannot get along with plums in a small area. The minimum distance between plantings should be 5-6 m.
But the number of good plants that the plum will be only too happy with include apple, elder, peach, apricot, cherry and sweet cherry.
