The guild consists of companion plants that benefit the olive tree by improving soil fertility, attracting beneficial insects, and deterring pests. Flowers and herbs benefit olive trees by improving soil fertility and attracting correct insects Finally, an excellent classic combination for olive trees is Mediterranean herbs, including basil, bay leaf, chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, fennel, fenugreek, lavender, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, saffron, sage, savory, tarragon, thyme and much more. In general, it’s a good idea to space smaller plants like herbs and flowers about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) away from your olive trees. Larger plants, such as shrubs and other trees, may need 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm) or more to grow and develop properly. 2. Arrangement of Plants Soil Improvement: Companion plants can also work wonders for your soil. Some plants, like legumes, are excellent nitrogen-fixers, which means they take nitrogen from the air and convert it into a form that plants can use. Other plants have deep roots that break up compacted soil, allowing for better water penetration and aeration. Planting these soil improvers near your olive trees will create a healthier environment for your trees to grow.
