Planting trees at home"
- The rules of planting trees at home -
When planting trees in the yard or at the entrance, first of all, trees should not directly face the main gate: on one hand, the feng shui is not good, and on the other hand, the visual effect is poor. The central position in the middle of the yard is also unsuitable for planting trees. In addition, trees should not be too close to windows; a tree in front of a window should be at least 2 m away, otherwise the damp and shady energy is too strong, which is good for health.
Large trees should not be planted in the yard or at the entrance; large trees will damage the flat yard and at the same time block the sunlight from the house, which is bad for lighting.
Dead trees should not be planted in front of the door; dead trees make people feel bad, affect mood, and also affect a person's fortune. Nor should there be leaning large trees: on one hand, there is a safety hazard, and on the other hand, they give a sense of oppression, which is not good for relaxing the mood.
Overall, when trees face the house it is auspicious; when they turn their backs to the house it is inauspicious. Trees and the house should support each other and must not contend with each other, so that both benefit at the same time.
- Osmanthus -
For planting trees in front of the door, osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans) is the first choice. In classical gardens, magnolia is often planted together with crabapple, winter jasmine, peony, and osmanthus, forming the good meaning of "jade hall spring wealth and honor." Many old houses plant osmanthus trees, and every golden autumn season they are filled with a delicate fragrance, with very good symbolism too: it means two osmanthus (honors) in the courtyard and double osmanthus (honors) leaving a good name, representing good fortune and everything going as wished, with wealth and honor gathered in one hall.
- Pomegranate -
Chinese people regard the pomegranate as an auspicious object, with the symbol of many children and much fortune. In the past, when people married, they would place a little pomegranate in the bridal chamber to express the meaning of many children and much fortune and a house full of descendants. Planting a pomegranate in the yard lets you enjoy the flowers and the fruit, and then you can eat it too, and it also carries auspicious energy, so it is very suitable.
- Buddhist pine -
In Guangdong and Taiwan, China, there is a saying, "If the home has a Buddhist pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus), generation after generation will not suffer poverty." In ancient times, many high officials and nobles also liked to plant Buddhist pines in their private residences. The Buddhist pine has an elegantly ancient tree shape, with a clear, elegant, and upright spirit, possessing a majestic and vigorous proud momentum that complements the yard. The Buddhist pine symbolizes evergreen through ten thousand years, a smooth career, and peace and good fortune, so it is a good choice for protecting the home and bringing wealth.
- Kumquat tree -
The "ju" of the kumquat tree is a homophone for "ji" (auspiciousness), symbolizing good fortune and peace. Kumquat leaves have a special fragrance and the function of soothing the liver and relieving depression, which can bring the family a pleasant mood. The kumquat fruit is golden and festive, and when the harvest season comes, the family can also share the delicious fruit, so it is suitable for planting in the yard.
There are some small kumquat varieties whose tree shape is small and does not block light; kumquats can also be steeped in water to treat coughs, which is especially good.
- Crabapple -
Our country has a very long history of cultivating crabapple flowers. Crabapple flowers bloom brilliantly, with the meaning of wealth and honor filling the hall, and the blossoms of the cherry tree symbolize brothers living in harmony and joyful happiness. In ancient times, crabapple was planted in combination with peony, symbolizing wealth and honor filling the hall, and magnolia paired with peony had the saying of "jade hall wealth and honor." So planting crabapple in the courtyard is the very best choice!
