<\/span><\/h3>\nThe apple ( Malus<\/em> ) is one of the best-known and most important types of fruit – that is why it should not be missing in a forest garden. The humus, nutrient-rich soil of the forest garden is perfect as a location for the apple tree. However, since the apple tree is “only” 10 meters high, you should make sure when creating the forest garden that it is not shaded too much by larger trees in a few years. In addition to its beautiful flowers and delicious fruits, another advantage of the apple tree is that it has a deep taproot. This means that small, shade-friendly plants can be planted as a shrub layer directly under the apple tree.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The apple tree can be easily integrated into the forest garden.<\/p>\n
<\/span>5. Hazelnut<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nThe hazelnut ( Corylus avellana<\/em> ) is one of the oldest fruits used in Europe – and should also find its way into the forest garden. The shrub, which is up to 7 meters high, grows naturally mainly on the edges of the forest and in hedges, but can also be grown in the forest garden without any problems. Here it tolerates a shady place, but it develops most of the flowers and fruits in a sunny place. The hazelnut is particularly popular because of its small, nutty fruits that can be collected in autumn and that taste wonderful both fresh and in baked goods.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The hazelnut is a must for every forest garden.<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Of course, you are free to add elements in the forest garden that would be rather untypical for the forest. In classic permaculture, for example, the raised bed is an important element. Filled with fertile soil such as Plantura organic tomato and vegetable soil and your own compost, as well as mulched with the leaves of your forest trees, it produces healthy fruit that you can easily harvest.<\/p>\nDo you want to get started right away and are you now looking for the right trees for your forest garden?
