Whether the thuja will take root in the area depends not least on what plants are planted nearby.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer, tells us which crops are strictly forbidden to plant with thuja.
What should not be planted next to thuja
First and foremost, never plant plants with a branched root system, in particular birch, next to thuja.
In the fight for nutrients with the birch, the thuja will definitely lose.
Also, you should not plant plants near the thuja that will shade it.
Fruit bushes (gooseberries, raspberries, currants) should not be planted next to thujas – the yield will decrease.
In addition, jasmine does not feel well next to thuja. It does not like dry soil, on which conifers grow well.
Earlier, the expert told how to prepare a remedy against ticks and nematodes.
