The Agroforestry associates trees and cultures or herds of animals on a same plot
Agroforestry: Trees and Agriculture, follow this model for your garden
 
 
The Tree is in contact with the soil and water
 
The many dense tree roots can catch the nutritive elements present into the soil and make them accessible to smaller plants cultivated on the surface. The leaves and some other organic elements from the tree fall on the ground and by decomposing, they create a layer rich in organic material called humus. This humus increases the proportion of organic material in the ground and improves the fertility.

The Tree, central to environment and landscapes
As by planting country hedges or forest edges along plot borders, the agroforestry increases the surrounding biodiversity by providing food and shelter. In general, creating fresh and shady zones participates in both the animals and the farm operator’s well-being. Moreover, planting trees with a broad development provides protection against cold and wind.

Focus on the Service Tree
 
The food-lover gardeners can plant a Service Tree in their orchard as the sorb fruit becomes edible once left to blet (overripen). The foliage of this tree turns a beautiful golden yellow in autumn. It can be planted alone or in a group, but also mixed with other trees in a country hedge. Its brownish red wood is extremely hard and appreciated for the making of tools or for wood engraving.
