Growing Guadua Bamboo together with Fruit Trees
Does anyone have experience mixing Guadua bamboo with fruit trees? Does bamboo harm fruit trees in any way via the (rotting) leafs? I know that there might be impact as to the shade the bamboo gives.
Does anyone have experience regarding the planting distance that has to be considered when planting bamboo near a fruit tree?
⭐ Best Answer:
When planting Guadua bamboo together with fruit trees, I would recommend to maintain a 10 meters spacing between them. A Guadua clump might occupy all that 10 m space in 15 years or so.
Bamboo leaves are very rich in nutrients and are therefore an excellent organic fertilizer. Fallen bamboo leaves are also a good "mulch" since they prevent weeds from growing near the clump.
