When deciding which trees to plant on a site, it is worth considering factors that affect their compatibility.
Often crops grow poorly or even die not only because of diseases or pests, but also because of “incompatibility” with neighbors.
The apple tree also has a list of undesirable crops. An expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , told about them.
An example of an unsuccessful neighborhood is an apple tree and a raspberry. It will also not work harmoniously with a plum.
Firstly, the trees are infected with the same diseases and pests. If they are also grown too close, competition for nutrients is inevitable.
Also, you shouldn’t plant common juniper and potatoes next to an apple tree.
The expert also does not recommend growing apple and cherry trees next to each other. In this combination, the cherry tree will suffer more damage.
Earlier we talked about what can be planted next to cherries.
