Which planting under trees?
Planting trees can be tricky, especially when it comes to shallow-rooted trees. In the following, you will find out which plants are suitable for planting under trees and what has to be taken into account in coneflowers.
Flachwurzler or Tiefwurzler
Flat-rooting trees are particularly difficult to plant, as they leave little room for the roots of other plants and claim water and nutrients for themselves. The shallow roots include:
Deepworms, however, do not fight with aboveground plants for space or water and are therefore easy to underplant. This includes:
Under deep root you can set any plants that can cope with the prevailing light conditions. The selection of plants for planting under shallow-rooting trees is more limited.
The best plants for planting under trees with shallow roots
Especially under large trees there is little light. In addition, the foliage catches the rain and the roots suck the water out of the ground. Therefore, plants that are able to cope with little light and water, such as forest shrubs, are especially suitable for planting. For planting under light or small trees, the selection of plants is larger and who wants to put moisture-loving plants, can now and then grab the hose or plant them as far away from the trunk. The following is an overview of the plants that are suitable for planting under trees:
Tips
Cover the soil around your plants under the tree with mulch, gravel or nutshells to reduce moisture loss through evaporation.
