Tulips and other spring bulbs are a great addition to many fruit tree guilds. Spring flowers hold onto nutrients in the early parts of the growing season, much like a cover crop. The blooms can also attract pollinators and provide and early pollen and nectar source. Their growing roots can also provide a food source for soil microorganisms.
