Where should you plant a Chinese toon tree for good feng shui? These sayings are worth knowing

1. Symbolizes longevity and wealth

The Chinese toon tree (Toona sinensis) is a common tree and, in feng shui, a tree species with fairly good symbolism. It is called the king of trees and represents longevity; like the great chun tree recorded in the Zhuangzi chapter "Free and Easy Wandering," it carries the omen of long life. Today, some areas in the north still have the custom of "touching the chun," which symbolizes that children can grow up healthily. Chinese toon also has the feng shui symbolism of good fortune and wealth; it can promote the wealth luck of later generations, symbolizing broad sources of income and the addition of much wealth.

2. Pay attention to pruning and care

There is an old folk saying, "When the Chinese toon tree grows past the house, the owner may be harmed." In fact, this does not mean the Chinese toon tree is an unlucky tree; rather, it reminds the owner that the Chinese toon tree at home should be pruned. Its wood is fairly brittle, and if it grows too tall and rises above the roof, picking from it may cause people to fall and be injured. Also, if the tree happens to break, the damage is considerable, so when planting it, pay attention to regular pruning and keep the plant's growth height under control.

3. Planting location

When planting a Chinese toon tree at home, choose a suitable location. It can be planted about 10 m from the house; it must not be too close to the house, nor too close to the windows. If the home has a south yard, it can be planted by the wall of the south yard, which has little effect on sunlight, carries good symbolism, and can bring a good omen.
