Plants For Fruit Guilds

Have you ever considered planting a fruit tree guild?

You may have heard about companion plants for the vegetable garden. Fruit tree guilds are based on the same idea. It’s like tomatoes and basil, or corn, beans, and squash, but for your apple and pear trees. The different plants work together to feed each other, repel bad bugs and disease, and attract pollinators.

Want to grow more food in a smaller area? When you create fruit guilds you reduce disease and increase your harvests with less work in less space than traditional orchards.

The plants in a guild work together to recycle nutrients back into the soil, save water, provide shade, attract beneficial insects and prevent erosion. And they do all this while providing food, flowers, and medicine for us as well.
