Diversity is a key element of permaculture systems. Rather than conventional orchard planting design, try planting trees in guilds. Each element of a guild planting complements and assists the other plants in the guild.

The guild designs and plant varieties are specifically selected for US Midwest conditions. The same principles of guild plantings would be adaptable to other climatic zones, with appropriate adjustments to plant variety selections.
