Which trees are better not to plant next to each other: you need to remember one important nuance
Sometimes gardeners plant trees on their plots without even thinking about their compatibility.
But incorrectly selected “neighbors” may not have the best effect on the condition of the plants and their fruiting.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told which trees are best not to plant next to each other.
What Neighborhoods Should You Avoid?
There may be competition between some trees for nutrients, moisture and light.
Therefore, it is better not to plant them too close. In particular, this concerns the planting of apple and pear trees.
When planting these trees, it is important that there is the necessary distance between them. It will depend on the characteristics of the rootstock.
It is also necessary to ensure that tall trees do not deprive low-growing plants of light.
You shouldn't plant apple and cherry trees next to each other. The root system of the cherry tree grows quite quickly.
And therefore, it can begin to lay claim to the place that is allocated to other trees.
Peaches and apricots also grow quickly. The same applies to certain types of plums.
Therefore, it is important for them to provide free space.
