What can be planted in the near-trunk circle of an apple tree.

The most striking decorations of a personal plot are, of course, trees. But sometimes there is a desire to supplement the already existing beauty with something by decorating the trunk circle of apple trees in an unusual way.

What can be planted in this area?
The trunk circle is a piece of soil located around a tree at a distance of 2 to 3 meters (these figures depend on the scale of the apple tree itself).

For the normal growth and development of a tree, the near-stem circle plays an actually decisive role. It is through this area that the root system receives the necessary air, and the tree itself receives most of the nutrients and water.

It is very important to understand how exactly you can decorate the near-trunk circle in an original way, but without harming the tree. There are several good options:

Break up the flower garden. This is a very good idea, but it is important to choose the right flowers that will participate in this flower bed. The following qualities are presented to plants: they should not be light-loving, especially whimsical in care and nutrition, and also not very high.

Vivid examples that are ideal for this role are: saxifrage, geykheru, coined loosestrife, periwinkle.
Another good option is a lawn.

The trunk circle of apple trees can be sown with lawn grass. It must be mowed as it grows to a certain length, but not removed.

The fact is that over time, under the influence of moisture, the grass will turn into humus. This will create additional nutrition for the tree.

Mulching is another great way to decorate this area. As a mulch, it is permissible to use either large sawdust or tree bark. They not only improve the appearance, but also prevent the active growth of weeds.

Borders are classics of the genre. Around the trunk they are laid out using beautiful stones. To give areas more originality, it is recommended to use stones of different shapes and colors. However, in order not to harm the tree, the entire area should not be laid out with stones.

The choice of one or another option depends entirely on individual preferences.
