Can you plant a pear tree next to an apple tree: good friends or sworn enemies

According to many gardeners, a pear and an apple tree planted close to each other make an excellent tandem.

However, this statement can be disputed.

Indeed, this state of affairs is very much to the taste of the apple tree, while the pear tree will certainly be sad.

And the reason for this is the dominant neighbor, that is, the apple tree.

These trees will be friends only if the distance between them is at least 5 meters.

In addition, you are unlikely to get tasty, juicy and large fruits from a pear if you grow it next to cherries, walnuts, cherry plums, peaches, and plums.

But rowan, black currant and grapes growing nearby will not harm the harvest in any way.

If we talk about an apple tree, it is worth noting that it will be difficult to wait for apples if cherry, peach, bird cherry, viburnum, black currant and gooseberry grow nearby.

In addition, the apple tree and sunflower, as well as lily of the valley, are not to their liking.
