The cherry harvest will be small if these six plants grow nearby

0

Sometimes you can notice a trend that caring for plants and trees does not always give the expected result. An example of this is cherries. You applied fertilizers at all the necessary periods, took care of the trunk circle, did sanitary pruning, and processed, but you did not wait for a large harvest and sweet cherries. The reason may be plants planted nearby.

What prevents cherries from bearing fruit

It is well known that not all plants are able to peacefully coexist nearby. They are hindered by competition for nutrients and certain features inherent in certain crops. For cherries, the following plants become undesirable neighbors:

• Conifers. Especially fir and juniper, which make the soil more acidic. And this hinders the cherry, because conifers create a calcium deficiency for it.
• Apple tree. Moniliosis can be transmitted from it, as well as from cherries to apple trees.
• Apricot and walnut. They release toxic substances into the soil, which again hinder cherries.
• Strawberries and nightshades. They also do not get along with cherries. And the reason for this is verticillium wilt.

Such features must be taken into account when choosing a place to plant cherries. It would seem like a trifle, but nature has its secrets of what can grow best and where.
