Fruit & veg
Can I plant an apple tree near a dead one?
The tree died of old age and drought rather than disease.
In London. Keen but lazy.

Derbyshire but with a Nottinghamshire postcode.

I don't see why not. They don't have anything problematical like roses. The soil may be impoverished and need improving before you plant.

Thanks fidget. Now I've got to pick one - and improve the soil!

Apples are susceptible to replant disease - see here

I think you should fertilize the soil and apply water before the plantation of your desired tree.
