What to plant in the near-trunk circle under an apple tree

1

In the summer cottage, you want to grow only potatoes and carrots. The soul also desires aesthetics. And in this regard, it is not always possible to find enough space for growing, for example, flowers and other decorative plants. The way out of the situation is to use trunk circles under the trees.

What to plant under an apple tree

There are almost always apple trees on the site. Someone may say that it is not necessary to plant anything under them. Everything there should be clean, dug up, and mulched as much as possible. However, other gardeners deny such statements and suggest growing other plants there. For example, you can choose something from edible crops:

• cucumbers;
• green peas;
• zucchini;
• zucchini;
• cheremsha;
• strawberry.

Not only edible crops can be grown under apple trees. There are several more decorative options:

• ayuga;
• creeping neck;
• shadow;
• sister violet.

Whether or not to decorate the stem circle is a personal choice. However, the idea is quite feasible.

Important: the first 3-4 years young trees are not planted near the trunk circle. This is relevant only for adult apple trees with a developed root system.
