The apple tree is the most popular fruit tree.

Caring for the plant is not difficult, and as a result you can get a bountiful harvest.

But when organizing a garden, you need to consider that not all plants can be planted next to an apple tree. The fact is that some crops can negatively affect the condition of the fruit tree. As a result, the quality and quantity of the harvest will suffer.

What should not be planted next to an apple tree

It is not worth organizing joint planting with peaches. Their roots will take away all the nutrition and moisture.

You should also avoid planting bird cherry trees, which may have glassworms on them, which happily attack apple trees.

Viburnum will deprive nearby plants of water and can also grow rapidly.

Gooseberries and black currants are the bushes that are also best placed away from the apple tree.

A separate place should be allocated for conifers, which actively acidify the soil.
