Fruit
This is by no means a definitive list of the fruit that can be grown in a home garden; it takes a
while to gather and add the information so I am starting with the fruit that we have or are growing.
 | Apples are bad for potatoes, making them blight-prone; they are benefited by alliums, especially chives. Penstemons and Nasturtiums nearby are thought to prevent sawfly and woolly aphids. They are also benefited by Stinging nettles close by, which dried can also be used to help stored fruit keep. |  | Vitamin C |
| Benefit from tansy or stinging nettles nearby, and are a good companion and sacrificial crop for grapevines. | | Rich in vitamin C |
| As these are acid-loving, they grow well near heathers |
| Traditionally grown over elm or mulberry trees; benefitted by blackberries, sage, mustard and hyssop growing nearby; inhibited by cabbage, radish, Cypress spurge and laurels. | | Generally beneficial |
| Rich in vitamin C |
| Like to ramble under corn or sunflowers for the shelter and dappled shade; they get along with peanuts, but do not thrive near potatoes. Sowing with Morning Glory seed is said to improve germination. | | Rich in vitamins A and C, niacin and potassium |
| Pears are hindered by grass, so this should not be allowed close in their early years. | | Potassium and riboflavin |
| Plant a ground cover of white clover beneath the tree to help control insect pests. Curculios are reportedly kept off by surrounding with garlic. | | Rich in magnesium, iron and vitamin A |
| Reported to benefit from tansy, garlic or marigolds; strawberries may be grown close by but not underneath. Do not grow potatoes nearby as they will become more prone to blight. | | Valuable amounts of vitamin C, riboflavin and niacin |
 | Contrary to popular belief Rhubarb is a vegetable not a fruit. |
| Rich in vitamin A |
| Growing borage, beans or onions nearby is reported to help strawberry plants. | | Some vitamin C and half as much iron as spinach. |
| Normally grown in grass sward; include clover and alfalfa to give more fertility. They supposedly suppress wheat and make potatoes prone to blight. | | Rich in riboflavin |
| Do not object to potatoes like melons do; can run among them to advantage in warm countries. | | Rich in vitamins and minerals; a serving contains more iron than spinach |
