Peach
These two plants cannot exist side by side. The peach has a strong root system that grows over a wide area. The peach itself grows very actively and requires a lot of nutrients. Your apple tree simply cannot survive in such difficult conditions for it.
Apricot
Another unwanted neighbor of the apple tree, and other trees. The fact is that the root system of an apricot releases many toxic substances during growth. This can be detrimental to the growth and development of the apple tree. In addition, they share common pests and diseases.
Rowan
The fact that mountain ash is not the best neighbor for an apple tree became known at the beginning of the last century. It happened in America when local farmers were dissatisfied with the apple harvest. Every year it got worse and worse. As it turned out, wormy fruits appeared due to the caterpillars of the mountain ash moth.

Cherries
This plant, like the previous ones, has an abundant root system, which is capable of displacing the roots of neighboring plants from the surface layer to the lower ones. So the plants in the neighborhood lack moisture and nutrition. The apple tree gradually begins to wither.
Barberry

Viburnum
The plant itself is not bad, but it has one peculiarity. Kalina simply loves moisture and consumes a lot of it from the soil. Naturally, this interferes with development and negatively affects other plants. Including on an apple tree, the soil under which also needs to be moistened. Aphids may also be present on the viburnum, which is very dangerous for the apple tree.

Horse chestnut
