Hard to find answers online. The actual fruit and not the juice. In what order is the naringin most concentrated: peel, pitch, pulp (actual solid part inside) and the squeezed juice?

Hello, I’m planning on planting a Taylor Juniper as a hardier alternative to Italian Cypress, and was wondering how well they would do near other trees (peach tree and dawn redwood) or close to house.

Is there a scientific measurement for how far a plants scent can be smelled? if so I know Mint is the most common insect repellent but i also know there's a ton of variants.
