Apple trees are among the most popular varieties of fruit trees, since with minimal attention on our part we can count on a very decent harvest.

However, it is important to remember that some plants are best not planted nearby.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed three of the most unsuccessful options.

What plants are we talking about?

Cherries

Cherry berries amaze everyone with their excellent taste qualities, so many try to plant them on the plot. However, this should be done far from the apple tree.

Few people know that cherries can suppress the development of apple trees. Therefore, try to plant the crops farther from each other.

Viburnum

Planting this plant still causes controversy: many "blame" viburnum for the appearance of a large number of aphids on the site. But there is another important point that should not be ignored.

The thing is that because of the viburnum the apple tree will not have enough liquid.

Some shrubs

It is highly recommended not to plant lilac or juniper near apple trees. It is believed that they can cause the development of various diseases.

Hawthorn will also be a bad neighbor and can also cause diseases.
