Guild	Description
Corylus avellana Hazel	Hazelnuts and brambles can share space efficiently, with the hazelnut providing shade and reducing weed growth, while brambles benefit from the nitrogen-rich soil created by the hazelnut.
Malus domestica Apple	Apple trees can provide pollinators for the brambles and their fallen fruit can offer a food source for birds that help control pests.
Rubus idaeus Raspberry	Planting other varieties of brambles together can enhance cross-pollination and improve berry set while maximizing space.
Caltha Palustris Yellow marsh marigold	Mint can repel pests that are harmful to raspberries, and it also provides ground cover to retain moisture in the soil.
