We have a 20+ yr. old large apple tree that is reaching the end of its life.
I was thinking about planting a tree/conifer underneath it to grow so when we have to cut ti down we will have a tree still there.
Any suggestions? I was thinking of a blue spruce.
We have 2 on the other side of the yard...A green and a blue one.

I have some Blue spruce I love them.... on the other hand did you enjoy the fruit?flowers...BTW my sone loves the peekachu made me stay on the same post for 20 min ... Or are you looking for something different...

Dogwoods are one of the truest understory trees.

most conifers put on foliage where exposed to the sun.

ever notice that a blocked side of a conifer is usually bare as are the inside portions if the outer growth is dense
