 An apple tree plant community might include daffodils, irises, or other early-flowering bulbs.  While blooming under the fruit tree, they provide beauty for us and attract pollinators to the tree.  Dill and onions planted under the drip line of the apple tree repel pests that are otherwise attracted to the tree.  Beans, peas, or purple clovers fix soil nitrogen, improving the quality of the soil in which the tree is growing.  Comfrey and borage are herbs with many human uses.  In addition, they grow quickly and can be cut back and used as mulch around the tree. An apple tree plant community might include daffodils, irises, or other early-flowering bulbs.  While blooming under the fruit tree, they provide beauty for us and attract pollinators to the tree.  Dill and onions planted under the drip line of the apple tree repel pests that are otherwise attracted to the tree.  Beans, peas, or purple clovers fix soil nitrogen, improving the quality of the soil in which the tree is growing.  Comfrey and borage are herbs with many human uses.  In addition, they grow quickly and can be cut back and used as mulch around the tree.
