I have some new baby trees in the ground - sambo lemon, orange and barbados cherry - here in South Florida. And I'd like to plant some attractive flower beds around the trees. My boyfriend had fruit trees when he was a kid and tells me that if I plant anything within the diameter of the mature tree that the nutrients will be diminished and the eventual harvest may suffer. Is this correct? Can we really not plant anything near our fruit trees? Thanks for the input!
