What kind of trees are taboo to plant in the courtyard

1. Cypress

Cypress is evergreen all year round, and it has strong vitality, is drought-resistant and cold-resistant, so it is very easy to cultivate. However, this tree is usually planted in cemeteries and is also called a grave tree. It has a very bad meaning, so it should not be planted in the courtyard, as it will affect the family's fortune.

2. Mulberry

It is taboo to plant mulberry trees in the courtyard because the word "mulberry" in "mulberry" sounds like "sang" (funeral), which is very unlucky. It is best not to plant them in the courtyard.

3. Willow

The willow tree has bad feng shui meaning because the "willow" in "willow" sounds like "flow", which will cause the family's wealth to flow out. Another saying is that people believe that willow trees attract negative energy and will increase the negative energy in the home. In addition, willow trees do not produce seeds, and the words "seed" and "zi" are homophones, which is also very unlucky and should not be planted in the courtyard.

4. Peach Tree

It is taboo to plant peach trees in the courtyard. Because the flowers of the peach tree are blood red, people believe that the blood red color of the peach tree is just a little bit of blood, so no one will plant a peach tree in their garden. In addition, the word "tao" in peach tree is homophonic with "tao" (escape), which people believe means escape. However, from the perspective of Feng Shui, the peach tree is the essence of the five elements and can cure all kinds of evil spirits, so there is a series of items made of peach trees to ward off evil spirits.

5. Sophora japonica

The Chinese character "槐" (locust tree) consists of "木" (wood) and "鬼" (ghost). Many sources say that ghosts live inside wood. Road construction in many places has to avoid locust trees to avoid attracting bad things. Therefore, it is taboo to plant locust trees in the courtyard.
