Can mulberry trees be planted outside the house?

It is unlucky to plant mulberry trees in front of your house. From ancient times to the present, people have always been taboo to plant mulberry trees in front of their houses.

Feng Shui of planting mulberry trees at the doorstep

In Feng Shui, it is taboo to plant mulberry trees in front of the house. Therefore, if you want to plant mulberry trees, you should plant them behind the house and plant locust trees in front of the house. The locust tree has hard wood and can be used as a greening tree or a street tree. It has the highest grade among all trees, is authoritative in protecting the house, and symbolizes auspiciousness.

Tips for planting mulberry trees at your doorstep

1. Select suitable and high-quality varieties based on local soil, climate and other natural conditions. The seedlings should be strong, neat and have intact root systems.

2. When planting mulberry trees, deep plowing and shallow planting are required. Shallow planting means that the rhizomes of the mulberry seedlings (the junction of green and yellow) are buried no more than 10 cm in the soil. Because the roots are close to the surface, the temperature is higher, the air permeability is good, and the mulberry trees grow fast.

3. After the seedlings are determined, the tips and stems of the seedlings should be cut off according to different growth forms. Winter planting can be cut after the freezing period and before the sap flows in early spring, while spring planting can be cut after planting. If the seedling stems are to be used as scion, they can also be cut when cutting the scion.

Breeding Note:

1. Mulberry trees are plants that like long sunshine hours. Long-term sunlight exposure can make mulberry trees grow faster.

2. Planting some legumes or using some bacterial fertilizers in the place where mulberry trees are planted will be of great benefit to improving the fertility of mulberry trees.
