Why shouldn't you plant cherry and apple trees next to each other? The second part of our article answered this question.

Take note

The fact is that the root system of apple trees is more branched and stronger than the roots of cherry trees.

Thus, one crop will take nutrients and moisture from another, which will lead to the death of the latter and to loss of the harvest.

To prevent trees from harming each other, they should be placed at least 10 meters apart. The same principle should be used when planting pears and cherries in the same area.
