 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.

 +Plant near a compost heap as it assists in breakdown soil. Elderberry is a natural Antiseptic,
 +the leaves encourage compost fermentation and makes excellent topsoil. The flowers are very attractive to insects and  the fruit is very attractive to birds – pigeons hang upside down in autumn to pick the berrys.

-Most of these plants are considered as **weeds**; and they make their living ass pioneer species: tough sundependent, fatgrowing and short lived.These early colonists invade bare or depleted soils. where one of there rolls is to accumulate nutrients in their roots and leaves. Each fall these plants die and rot, pumping a fat load of minerals into the soil. The enriched earth is then ready  for the next successionary phase of less emphemerial, more fastidious plants such as perennial herbs, shrubs and trees.+Most of these plants are considered as **weeds**; and they make their living as pioneer species: tough sundependent, fatgrowing and short lived.These early colonists invade bare or depleted soils. where one of there rolls is to accumulate nutrients in their roots and leaves.
