A
Note on Trees
Landscaping
is closely related to house building. Our ancient sages have laid down certain
rules for planting trees. A variety of decorative and herbal trees and plants
have been recommended for encouraging good health and prosperity. Heavy leaf
bearing trees can be planted in the South-West. Rock gardens with slope towards
North and East can also be in South-West. No big or tall tress should be in
front of the house or in the North or East side of the house. The shadow of a
tree should not fall on a house between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The reason is that the
auspicious rays of the morning Sun should not be blocked by any tall structures
and big trees. Similarly, big trees and high construction on South and West
shields the house and the occupants from the harmful rays of the afternoon Sun.
Herbal plants like Tulsi and
Tumbe can be grown in the North-East region. Tulsi is perfect for a home's
brahmas than. Lawns and flower beds should be in the North-East. No thorny
plants, cactus and plants emitting liquid like milk, should be kept in the
house. They should be kept outside the boundary of the house. Plant brought from
a temple, bank of a river, stolen from a place or given by a person whom you
dislike should not be planted on your plot. Saplings brought from a nursery
should be planted. Trees like Ashoka, Almond, Nilgiri, Coconut, Neem and Lemon
are recommended for planting in South and West of a house.
Rose plants can be kept
in the South-East zone. Trees like Berries, Tamarind, Gum Arabic, Cotton or silk
tree are harmful. They should not be planted in the house at all. In case, you
already have planted trees in the North and East of your building and are
wondering what to do about them, our ancient texts have prescribed certain
methods. Pooja to the tree should be performed the previous night and offerings
of rice and curd made. Next morning again after praying the trees should be
felled. The tree should fall towards East or North.
