When planting plants on a site, it is important to consider their compatibility.
After all, this can affect the condition of trees and shrubs, as well as their productivity.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained which plants can be planted together and which are best kept away from each other.
Why plants don't get along
When planting plants, you need to take into account the fact that their roots can “compete” for nutrients and moisture.
Also, some plants can release substances that have a negative effect on the condition of other shrubs and trees.
In addition, the conditions in which they are kept may differ. For example, some plants may not have enough light, while others may have too much.
Therefore, the distance between “enemy plants” should be at least five meters.
What can and cannot be planted nearby
Apple trees get along well with pears, plums and quince.
Bad neighbors for this tree would be cherry, currant and viburnum.
You shouldn't plant potatoes between apple trees. After all, this plant has a bad effect on the trees.
The pear will grow well near the red rowan tree, but it does not like the proximity to the plum tree.
The condition of the grapes will be negatively affected by proximity to cabbage.
Earlier we wrote about what to put under a cherry tree if it bears fruit very poorly.
