The apple tree cannot get along with some plants, as they may share common diseases or have the same pests.
Also, certain types of “neighbors” can take away moisture and nutrients from the apple tree.
It is important to understand that there is a certain category of bushes and trees that are simply not suitable for apple trees.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to refrain from planting certain crops.
What trees will harm the apple tree
These are the plants.
- Juniper. The coniferous tree cleans the air well from harmful impurities. But it suffers from an illness called rust, which is transmitted to the apple tree.
- Hawthorn. This bush suffers from moths, geometers and aphids. These pests also attack fruit trees.
- Cherry. Will take away nutrients and moisture from the apple tree, which is necessary for normal development.
- Peach. Like the cherry, this tree devastates the soil, and the apple tree begins to suffer.
- Viburnum. Another moisture lover, which is unlikely to share it with its apple tree neighbor.
