Hello everyone, I am your friend, a pure melon-eating masses. Today I would like to share with you an interesting thing, which is a hot topic that I have recently seen on the Internet: which trees cannot be planted in the courtyard of rural homes.
Speaking of this topic, I suddenly remembered playing in the small yard of my grandmother's house when I was a child. At that time, my grandmother always liked to plant all kinds of trees in the yard, including jujube trees, pomegranate trees, and persimmon trees...... Every autumn, the fruit is abundant and the aroma is overflowing. However, my grandmother never planted mulberry trees and acacia trees in her yard. When I was a child, I didn't understand, but now it seems that my grandmother is really a wise person.
Do you know that the mulberry tree, this seemingly ordinary tree, has a special meaning in the countryside? Because "mulberry" and "mourning" are homophonic, it is considered to be unlucky. So, despite the economic value of mulberry trees, such as the fact that their leaves can be used to feed silkworms, people still shy away from planting them in rural home yards. Personally, I also think that planting a mulberry tree at home and looking at the homonym of the word "mourning" every day will always make me feel a little uncomfortable.
And the acacia tree is a "troublemaker". The branches of this tree are covered with thorns, which can hurt people if you are not careful. I remember when I was a child, there was a locust tree in my neighbor's house, and I had to be careful every time I passed by for fear of being stabbed. Moreover, the canopy of the acacia tree is huge, and once it grows, the whole yard is shrouded in shadow by it. In the summer, it can bring a touch of coolness, but in winter, it can be really "dark". If such a tree is planted in the yard, is it not to find guilt for oneself?
Let's talk about pine trees. This tree is common in cities because it is evergreen all year round and has a high ornamental value. However, in rural areas, pine trees are regarded as a tree species planted in shady houses. Imagine planting a pine tree in your yard and looking at its tall figure every day, but it always makes people feel a little crazy. Moreover, the root system of pine trees is very strong, and it will absorb most of the nutrients in the ground, affecting the growth of other plants. I once saw a small grass next to a pine tree withering and wilting because it didn't get enough nutrients. So, I don't think it's a good choice to plant pine trees in your yard.
The last thing to say is the willow tree. This tree is popular in the city because of the flowing wicker and the appearance is very beautiful. However, in the traditional concept of the countryside, the willow tree is regarded as a wood species, and the meaning is not so beautiful. I remember when I was a child in the village, there was a family that planted a willow tree in the yard. Every spring, the wicker sprouts and is full of greenery, which looks really beautiful. But the old people in the village always shook their heads and sighed, saying that the family was "ignorant". Now it seems that the influence of traditional ideas on people is really deep-rooted!
Having said so much about "shade trees", in fact, I also want to express a point of view: planting trees is also a science. When choosing a tree species, we should not only consider its economic value and ornamental value, but also consider whether its meaning and growth habits are suitable for the family courtyard. Only in this way can we create a beautiful, comfortable and auspicious family environment.
Of course, these "shade trees" are not useless. For example, the mulberry tree can be used to raise silkworms and make silk, the locust flowers of the acacia tree are a delicacy in spring, the pine tree has an important ornamental value, and the willow tree has its own unique use as a traditional timber tree. Therefore, when choosing a tree species, you must consider many factors!
