Neighborhood and compatibility of trees and shrubs: what can be planted nearby - a reminder
Summer residents clearly know which vegetables cannot be “planted” on neighboring beds. But the fact that in the garden the same rules apply, few have heard.

Good neighbors |
Bad neighbors |
Apple tree |
Sow a calendula or dill in a tree circle - they scare away many pests. On the southern side, under apple trees (and pears), it is useful to grow early ripe tomatoes, which will scare away the moth butterflies. |
Next to the apple tree is not a place rowan! Because of this neighborhood, the apples are completely wormy. The reason - the fruits damage the tracks of the mountain ash moth |
Black currant |
Between the bushes is useful to plant onions (including before winter) - this will protect the currants from kidney mites. Honeysuckle gets along well with black currant |
Red currant, as well as raspberry, which is spreading in all directions, and if you fall into the planting of black currant, it will begin to oppress |
gooseberries |
Perfect with red currants |
Black currant, as both plants damage gooseberry willows. Raspberries near is also not suitable - for the same reason as near black currant |
Raspberries |
Plant this egoist separately from other garden plants, otherwise the raspberries will take all the moisture from the neighbors. In addition, its growth can strangle any undersized culture. |
|
Sea buckthorn |
Loves medicinal herbs - chamomile and oregano. By the way, from the leaves of sea buckthorn, chamomile flowers and herbs of oregano, you can brew a healing vitamin tea! |
Raspberries, black currants and strawberries - they have roots in one layer, so they will fight for water and food. Does not tolerate sea buckthorn and solanaceous - tomatoes, peppers, potatoes |

TAKE NOTE
It is not necessary to plant a bird cherry in the garden - glass cases will flow over it from all around, and then they will move to other fruit and berry plants.
Kushina is a hotbed of rust rust.
No fruit tree tolerates the neighborhood of fennel and hyssop - grow them in a far corner of the garden.

Red and black currants next door
I read different opinions about the neighborhood of red and black currants. Tell me, are these cultures still friends or shouldn't they be planted next to each other?
#
- My experience suggests that these species get along well with each other. So, for example, on my site, black currant bushes of the Vologda variety grew and bore fruit for at least 15 years next to the red currant bush of the Krasnaya Andreichenko variety.
#
Please tell us about the compatibility of fruit trees and berry bushes with ornamental plants and perennial flowers.

Using the traced atom method, scientists have proven that plants exchange chemical compounds through their root systems. This explains the mutual support relationship between fruit crops and lupines, between oats and vetch.
At times hostile relations develop between black currants and cherries, probably due to the strong aromatic volatiles secreted by the berry bushes.
The roots of some trees converge (for apple and cherry, pine and linden, oak and maple), while the roots of others do not (for pine and aspen, oak and white acacia). It is possible that root exudates repel antagonist plants from each other.
Growing potatoes in the tree-trunk circles of the apple tree leads to the accumulation of toxins that harm the trees. In the branches and roots of an apple tree, the nitrogen content decreases, the composition of proteins changes, and photosynthesis is disrupted in the leaves.
The roots and leaves of walnuts, black and Manchu nuts secrete substances that are toxins for almost all fruit and berry crops. Apple trees, pears and rowan trees grow poorly in the vicinity of nuts, and young plantings die.
Viburnum and barberry inhibit the growth of neighboring plants, and therefore do not have "friends" in the garden. A high content of berberine alkaloid is found in barberry, which has a bad effect on the surrounding plants.
For mountain ash, good neighbors are raspberries, hazel, pear, but her friendship with an apple tree does not work out.

Can a 5 year old peach be transplanted to another location? Now it grows near the cherry. And now, for the second year, I observe that the peach began to deviate from the "neighbor", this year it is already strong (I read somewhere that the peach does not tolerate being near the cherry). The diameter of the trunk at the base of the peach is 10-15 cm, it bears fruit for the second year already. Would I ruin him with a transplant?
Or leave everything as it is?
#
- Peach and cherry are really not the best neighbors for each other. And yes, transplanting a peach at 5 years of age is stressful for the plant. In your case, Irina, I advise you to compare the intensity of fruiting, the size and age of the peach and cherry. And if the cherry did not have time to grow very much, then perhaps it is worth planting the cherry.

I heard that some trees and shrubs should never be planted nearby, as they suffer from common diseases. What companions do birch and bird cherry do not like?
#
- Plants often do not develop well or die, because they are carriers of the diverse rust fungus Melampsoridium betulinum for each other.
Aspen and pine (poplar). The first stage of the fungus development cycle takes place on pine, and the other two - on aspen and some poplar species. When the aspen sheds its foliage, the microorganisms hibernate in the litter, and with the onset of spring they move to the pine tree, where they begin a new cycle. Birch and larch. The fungus settles on larch, then the spores fly to the birch, where they continue to develop.
Siberian cedar pine, Wei-Mutov pine and currant. The first stage of the fungus takes place on a pine tree, then the spores scatter and continue to develop on currant leaves and branches. In the spring they return to the pine.
Bird cherry and spruce. In the spring, the development of the fungus begins in the spruce cones that have been infected. It continues in the leaves of the bird cherry, and in the spring the fungus again infects the spruce. Here are some more examples of bad neighborhoods: oak - beech; Scots pine - Mongolian oak; linden - elm (small-leaved); juniper - hawthorn, pear, mountain ash, apple tree; larch - willow, fir.
The safe distance for planting these plants is 250-300 m from each other.
