Which Chinese medicinal materials are suitable for interplanting in the orchard

Interplant according to orchard type

Dryland orchards are only suitable for interplanting drought-tolerant Chinese medicinal materials, such as Bupleurum, Scutellaria, Astragalus, Anemarrhena, etc. Waterland orchards can be interplanted with Yuanhu, Fuzi, and Adenophora glabra, which are more moist and intolerant to cold. Mountain orchards should be interplanted with Coptis, Codonopsis, Ophiopogon, American ginseng, etc.

Interplant according to tree species

Jujube, persimmon and other late-germinating fruit trees can be interplanted with Fritillaria, Yuanhu, etc., which are light-loving but have summer dormancy habits. Peach, apricot, cherry and other fruit trees whose ripening period is before the hottest month can be interplanted with Chinese medicinal materials such as Poria, which loves heat and are afraid of being trampled, and can also use the moisturizing and sun-shading effect of the crown at this stage to produce fungus and white fungus.

Interplanting according to tree age

The young orchard has not yet closed the rows, and can plant the rehmannia, polygala, scutellaria, chrysanthemum, astragalus, achyranthes bidentata, isatis root, atractylodes, and Bupleurum, which are harvested in 1 to 3 years between rows. Adult orchards should be interplanted with yin-loving or yin-resistant Chinese herbal medicines.

Interplant according to the canopy

Fruit trees with dense crowns and leaves, such as peach, cherry, apricot, grape, persimmon, etc., can be interplanted with Chinese medicinal materials such as Pinellia, Gastrodia, Ganoderma lucidum and Coptis chinensis. Fruit trees with sparse crowns, such as apples, pears, and hawthorns, can be interplanted with salvia, lilies, asparagus and other slightly damp-tolerant Chinese medicinal materials.
