Nowadays, gardeners use the most modern tools and enthusiastically order seeds from world-famous breeders. But why, when we take cuttings from a bush from someone, do we try to “give a coin”? Sometimes it is difficult to guess where these strange beliefs and prejudices come from. Let's try to put them together and explain them from a scientific point of view.
Signs:
It is necessary to bury aspen stakes in the corners of the site
This superstition comes not only from biblical legends that aspen is the cursed tree on which Judas hanged himself. Even during pagan times, aspen branches were stuck into fences or into the walls of buildings where cattle were kept. Aspen leaves have very thin petioles, so they tremble at the slightest wind, as if they are “afraid” of something. In addition, aspen grows very quickly, the trunk does not have time to increase its strength, and in a strong wind this tree sways and rapidly loses leaves. Our ancestors believed that the evil force would also be wary of aspen branches and would not penetrate the territory. Now from evil force They have obviously excluded witches and other evil spirits, but they have not stopped being afraid of thieves and the evil eye, so some stick aspen stakes in the corners of the site and at each gate post and gate.

You should plant rowan near the porch
I am not a fan of planting any tree close to the house, because I don’t like to do extra work - sweeping fallen leaves from the floor of the veranda in the fall or faded flower petals in the spring. But some friends argue that it is urgent to plant rowan trees at the very entrance in order to ward off evil spirits.
The solution to this superstition is simple. It turns out that since pagan times, the Slavs, Scandinavians and Celts believed that this tree protected from witchcraft and wars, and crosses made from its twigs would help against the evil eye. The underside of the rowan berry looks like a star, one of the ancient pagan symbols of protection.

Spruce cannot be planted on the property
We don’t have a winter pass to the dacha, but we really want to celebrate the New Year in our home and decorate our own Christmas tree in the yard!

But there is no food for spruce either good omen. It is believed that spruce is a sign of bad things: loneliness, death, and as soon as it grows higher than the house, the one who planted it dies. Of course, this is all superstition. They are connected with the fact that in the old days the heating in the houses was stove, the houses themselves were one-story, and the spruce, growing, could partially cover the chimney with its powerful branches. Nowadays, such signs are no longer needed. The only thing that is bad about spruce is that it is really tall, and you need to choose one for it so that it does not shade the garden area and neighboring plots. In addition, spruce needles acidify the soil, so spruce should be planted away from flower beds and beds.

It is imperative to plant viburnum on the site
The Slavs considered viburnum to be the tree that protects women's happiness, and legends of the 13th-15th centuries associate viburnum berries with drops of the blood of girls who heroically saved their villages from Horde raids. There are many legends and songs about viburnum and maiden love, so this tree is perceived as a talisman of the family hearth and marital love.

You can’t cut down your own fruit trees at the dacha
It is believed that to cut down an old fruit tree you need to hire someone, rather than uproot it yourself. This prejudice also takes its roots from pagan traditions. It so happened historically that the life of the Slavs was connected with trees, which is why many beliefs about trees are firmly rooted in our consciousness. It was believed that fruit tree- a kind of “double” of a person. At the birth of children, it was customary to plant his “own” apple, pear, or other fruit tree.

To attract good spirits, you can plant a birch tree on your plot
With this belief, everything is clear - the birch has always been considered the most “Russian” tree, light and native. Even today, many, walking through the forest, hug a birch tree and talk to it in a moment of sadness.
But at the dacha, planting a birch tree is possible only with large area plot. The roots of the birch tree spread out wide, and it is impossible to grow other crops near it, not only because of the shade, but also because the birch tree draws all the moisture from the ground.
MNBer writes: “We mentally draw a circle around the birch tree according to the projection of its crown. We are not planting anything in this circle, it will not grow, only grass (well, also lilies of the valley, but they will still creep from the trunk, the neighbors have a stunted periwinkle). You can arrange pots, stumps, carts, all sorts of beauty, the birch tree has scattered shadow, everything will grow in the pots. And behind the projection of the crown, you can start planting either annuals or flowers with a powerful root system.”
You can’t rest under the elderberry, otherwise you might get sick
This belief should be observed, and it is connected with the fact that unripe berries of black elderberry are poisonous, and red (brush) and grassy elderberries are actually poisonous. If the berries are accidentally ingested, the victim must be taken to the hospital.

You can't kill frogs, otherwise there will be a flood
The frog may well get run over by the lawnmower, no matter what you do. But some are beginning to worry that soon there will be a heavy downpour because of this, and the entire harvest will simply be destroyed. This prejudice comes from the old idea that those who drowned as a result of the Flood were turned into frogs, and, of course, they cannot be killed, otherwise punishment will come.

If you are given a seedling or cutting, you must give a yellow coin
There is such a superstition that if you give away planting material for free - any bulbs, layering or sprouts, then the person you are gifting will grow everything, but yours will run out. Accurate scientific explanation, why should you give a yellow coin, and not a paper bill or a silver coin, no. More likely, yellow coins are associated with copper money, which, unlike silver, were changeable, the smallest, which it was not a pity to symbolically give for seedlings.
Stolen plants will grow better
Diametrically opposite to the previous one is the prejudice that it is better to steal a plant than to pay for it. Sometimes they even jokingly say: “Turn your back, and I’ll steal from you.” This is due to the fact that when we buy, we can sometimes create too much ideal conditions for the existence of the sprout, and this is not always useful. And if you accidentally pinch off a twig while passing by, and then just stick it into the ground, then it will take root more easily. But most likely, if what is stolen does not take root, we simply forget about this cutting, and thus the statistics on the survival of purchased and stolen plants are erased.
Before sowing, you must say “I will give to the land, and the land will give to me.”
If such auto-training calms you down, it’s quite possible to pronounce these words, there’s nothing wrong with that.
It is necessary to sow seedlings and make preparations on “women’s days”
Many adhere to the rule of sowing on days of the week that are feminine nouns - Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This tradition is due to the fact that the feminine principle has been associated with fertility since ancient times. There is no other scientific explanation for this sign, so, of course, you can sow on any day.

Why didn't our ancestors plant coniferous trees near their houses? Let's look into the past and understand the reasons for this belief. Why are coniferous trees not planted near the house, what is the reason for this? Every new owner of a summer house or private house sooner or later wonders what trees to use to decorate their garden or plot.
For this purpose they are often used deciduous trees, shrubs, including fruit-bearing ones. Coniferous plants are no less relevant. Many people, when choosing “green jewelry,” do not think about the fact that some of them are energy vampires, and some, on the contrary, willingly share positive energy. Today we'll talk about pine vampires. Naturally, it is unwise to plant such plants near your home.
Spruce
This is familiar to us evergreen tree, used as the main character on New Year. However, this tree cannot be planted in the garden, as it belongs to the group energy vampires. A spruce planted near the house will take vitality its inhabitants, bringing terrible misfortunes down on their heads.
So where do these or other superstitions come from, and what should we ultimately believe? The fact is that spruce has long been considered a funeral tree: it is a material for coffins, the dead were buried under it, and the last path of the deceased from home to the cemetery was covered with its branches. Many were scared off by the purpose of this plant and over time they began to attribute various negative properties to it.
To some extent, such fears are justified. But spruce is scary for another reason - its powerful root system damages paths, communications and even the home itself.
In some regions it is also believed that this tree drives men out of the home. It's about about divorces. According to popular superstition, sharp spruce needles provoke quarrels and conflicts. Spruce trees planted near the newlyweds' house deprive them of heirs. There is an opinion that a spruce whose height is greater than your home promises the person who planted it a quick death.
It should be noted that in regions where spruce is a very common greenery, such signs are not given importance. They believe that these plants, on the contrary, are beneficial for humans: they eliminate family quarrels, negative emotions, normalize peace of mind.
So if you want to plant a spruce in the garden, then keep in mind that the distance from the planting site to buildings must be at least 10 meters. This is also justified by safety considerations: in the summer there is a high probability of fire, and coniferous trees are engulfed in fire instantly. If they are located close to the house, and the house itself is made of wood, then a fire cannot be avoided.
It is characterized by intensive growth, is not demanding of care, is unpretentious to growing conditions, and tolerates air pollution in industrial cities. Therefore, it is often used in landscaping yards and roadside areas. However, these beautiful evergreen trees with soft needles and neat cones are too notorious, so planting them in close proximity to the house is not recommended.
Thuja is a tree that is especially loved by the deceased. Therefore, it is associated with grief and sadness, and is planted mainly in cemeteries. Perhaps the only positive property is that it drives away evil spirits and unkind people. However, this is too little to cover all the negative signs associated with thuja.
So, according to popular belief, if planted near a house, it will bring great misfortune to the family. A girl who grew up in a house where this tree is present will never get married and never know mutual love. Thuja, which is higher than the house, leads to the death of family members.
At the same time, the Indians called thuja the Tree of Life; many diseases were treated with its cones and needles. When this tree was brought to the Old World, European healers were amazed by its healing abilities.
As you can see, these superstitions arose because someone once decided to plant these trees in cemeteries. They may not have a negative impact on people's lives at all. So if you want to plant a thuja near your house, then do it, but only use small varieties of this tree. In this case, it will not grow higher than the house, and the negative omen will not work.
Cedar
It is famous for its incredible height (up to 40 m) and power. According to modern beliefs, a cedar tree that is taller than a house attracts misfortune and death.
Among the Slavs, cedar was considered a symbol of wealth, strength and prosperity. Residents of Siberia had a tradition when building housing to always plant a small cedar tree near the log house of the future hut. This made the home strong and stable. According to Siberian folk beliefs, cedars have the same biorhythms as the human body.
Over time, people began to treat this tree with caution. Most likely, this is explained by the fact that in the customs of some peoples cedar is a symbol of sadness. Many European peoples had a custom after a funeral to bring home a cedar branch and place it “in the corner of mourning” for a certain period of time. Therefore, today planting a cedar near the house and even just bringing its branches indoors is very Bad sign.
Modern esotericists agree with the ideas of the past, but those who like to decorate the garden with evergreens are offered an alternative - planting cedar as far as possible from buildings and closer to the fence. Naturally, decorative varieties are a priority. Several reasons why you should not plant conifers near your home:
- Pine, spruce, cedar, thuja are a fire hazard, they burn strongly, a small spark burns quickly, and the fire can easily spread to a house.
- Conifers drink a lot of water, drying out the soil, and have very powerful roots that can turn out entire layers of soil from the site.
- Bioenergetics specialists say that conifers produce negative energy. Over time, such proximity can cause a person to become depressed. Spruce is also a breeding ground for fungal diseases.
- If you plant a spruce or pine tree near the house, nothing will grow next to the tree at a distance of 5-6 meters - there will be only dry soil.
Above we have provided generalized information collected based on beliefs different nations and times. Many signs that came to us from antiquity are irrelevant today, but people continue to believe in them. Instead of output we will give you useful advice– when landscaping a site, be guided by your attitude towards a particular coniferous plant.
There are a lot of signs associated with trees. It is simply not realistic to list all these signs. And some of these signs cannot even be explained. But we still need to listen to what our Ancestors knew. This makes life easier, and many problems can be avoided.
Birch
Birch tree in the yard - lightning is not scary. Our Ancestors noticed that lightning never hits a birch tree. How to explain this? Unknown. But it is so. If a birch tree grows next to a house, then those who live in this house are not afraid of thunderstorms. Well, if there is no birch tree nearby, then it was customary to stack birch branches in the attic. Old people say that even these branches can protect from thunderstorms.
The birch tree has opened its leaves - start planting in a week. This sign is based on many years of observations of our ancestors. It has been noticed that if the birch tree begins to turn green, then in at least five or six days the air temperature will rise to ten degrees, and a cold snap is no longer expected.
Willow
You can’t plant a willow - you’ll shorten your own life.. Trees need to be planted. It is not in vain that the proverb says that a man must give birth to a son, build a house and plant a tree. It’s just been noticed that not every tree can be planted. The old people say that their Great-Grandfathers noticed that the one who planted a willow will die in the year when this willow grows so much that it can be used to make a holder for a shovel. Want to check it out? Please. But our Grandfathers are not going to check this sign.
Cherry
The snow has fallen, but there are leaves on the cherries - the snow won’t last long. Over many centuries, villagers have noticed that if early snow falls and the cherries have not yet had time to shed their leaves, then there will be a thaw very soon. Real winter occurs only when the last leaf falls from the cherry tree, and not before.
Hazel
There are a lot of nuts, but no mushrooms - it will be a snowy winter. This sign is associated with the peculiarity of the hazel tree. If expected Cold winter, then there will be a lot of nuts. The hazel tree always tries to produce the maximum harvest if it feels that a harsh winter awaits us.
Aspen
The aspen is trembling - the cattle are full. For many years, people have been observing trees and have noticed that when aspen leaves tremble, there will definitely be a good harvest of oats, barley and wheat. And once there is a harvest, there will always be something to feed the cattle. Everything is very simple.
Aspen chips in sauerkraut - the cabbage will not turn sour. This is true. It is believed that aspen has some antiseptic properties that can slow down the process of food spoilage. It was this property of aspen that our ancestors used to sauerkraut did not turn sour for a long time.
Oak
Oak takes a long time to get used to people. Sometimes six months or a year pass before he really begins to consider you his. But if he accepts you into his heart, he will not let you go and will never forget you! A piece of his power will be with you wherever you are.
Oak has the ability to transmit its energy over vast distances. If he has accepted you, his leaves will imperceptibly reach out to you when you come, and his young branches will cling to your clothes, not wanting to let you go.
If something falls from your favorite tree onto your hand double acorn- save it! In itself, it is a talisman of good luck in business, but in this case its power will be greater, since it is supported by the wishes of the oak itself.
A simple fallen acorn speaks of the changes awaiting you, which may be somewhat unexpected and confusing, but which will always lead to the better.
Fallen green branch with green foliage- moving.
The leaf on the oak tree is developing - good for catching pike. It has been noticed that pike are not always caught. You need to know the moment when to go for pike. And old fishermen noticed that at the moment when the leaves on the oak trees begin to bloom, the pike begins to eat. It is precisely at this moment that you need to catch her.
Usually in the old days the walls of a wooden house were made of oak, and the floors and flooring were oak. This arrangement of wood contributed best protection person from the influence of negative energy from the outside and allowed the shortest possible time restore spent strength, since oak easily transfers its energy to a person through direct contact, and its strength allows us to balance the work of our entire body. No wonder people said: “Strong as an oak!”
Many people are interested in whether a blue spruce on the site is a bad or a good omen, since it is believed that it is impossible to plant a Christmas tree near the house. It is important to understand whether misfortune really attracts, perhaps it is just prejudice.
Tree energy
Before you figure out why planting a spruce is a bad omen, you need to know what kind of energy comes from trees. Ancestors believed that absolutely any plant has its own energy that affects humans. Trees with negative energy include oak and willow, as they worsen health and bring failure. These trees are called vampires because they absorb positive energy from environment.
In addition, there are healing trees that attract good luck and normalize well-being. They should be planted near the house. These can be absolutely any fruit trees: larch, acacia.
What trees should not be planted near the house?
Is a blue spruce on your property a bad omen? A question that many people are interested in, because no one knows exactly what effect this tree has on a person. According to signs, you can determine the plants that can be grown on your site and which cannot. It is very difficult to check the energy of plants, but it is better to avoid trees that have a branched root system. Often it is so powerful that it can even destroy the foundation of a house.
It is believed that oak has bad energy, since it is too powerful and heavy. The tree draws vitality from people suffering from various diseases. There is another belief according to which you should not plant an oak tree near your house. It is believed that this tree can bring death to the head of the family.
In addition, it is not recommended to plant birch trees near the house. According to signs, spirits live in the crown of this tree, which can be good or evil. There is a belief that if a birch tree grows near a house, a woman may suffer from female diseases or infertility.
A bad omen is a spruce in the garden. The tree brings bad luck, destroys the harvest and can even attract death. There is a completely logical explanation for this. Since ancient times in Rus', the dead were covered with spruce branches, so the tree evoked fear. Spruce is very flammable, which poses a great threat to wooden houses.
The Legend of Spruce
A blue spruce on a property is a bad omen, and this tree is also found in a variety of legends. The Slavs were sure that if they planted this tree on their plot, then failures would definitely begin in the family. There was an opinion that the wife would not be able to get pregnant or would only give birth to daughters. It was believed that if such a tree was planted near the house of a lonely woman, she would be alone all her life and would soon die.
They used to think that if you were near your house and it suddenly dried up, got sick, or was struck by lightning, then all the inhabitants of the house would soon die. It was believed that during bad weather or a thunderstorm one should not hide under a spruce tree, since it would be the one that would be struck by lightning.
According to legend, this tree was planted by the first colonists in Finland. People revered him very much and were afraid of anger. Initially, the entire harvest was eaten, only after that people collected food.
However, as soon as one branch withered on the blue spruce, one of the colonists who arrived in these parts was sure to die. This continued until only one old woman remained alive. After the withered tree completely collapsed, she also died. Only the descendants of those people who first came to conquer this land remained alive.
Spruce and Feng Shui
According to the Eastern teachings of Feng Shui, the most useful plants Flowering and fruit-bearing shrubs and trees are considered. They attract vital energy to themselves, becoming quite powerful emitters of joy.
A bad omen is a blue spruce on the site, according to Feng Shui. According to this teaching, a tree has the ability to attract. The worst option is considered to be a lonely spruce growing right in front of the house. In this case, the tree will literally nourish bad energy the entire surrounding space. If you want to plant an evergreen plant in front of your house, then it is better to choose a pine tree rather than a spruce tree.
Designers' opinions on spruce
Skeptical designers believe that a spruce tree on a summer cottage poses only one danger, because it can fall from strong winds, it also has a superficial root system. However, this problem can be easily solved by planting low-growing varieties of coniferous trees.
Designers do not believe that a blue spruce on a site is a bad omen, since this tree thins out beneficial substances throughout the site, so flowers will bloom even more brightly against its background. But everyone decides for themselves whether to plant this tree on their site or not.
Why don't they grow spruce near the house?
Many people believe that spruce in a summer cottage is a bad omen. Superstitions associated with coniferous trees are based on knowledge gained by ancestors who noticed events happening around them. It is worth noting that many of these beliefs remain relevant to this day.
Often, it is not the very presence of this tree on the site that is considered negative, but rather its height. Ancestors believed that if a spruce tree grew higher than the roof of a house, then someone in the house would soon die. In some countries there was an opinion that the person who planted the tree would die, but this would happen when it grew taller than him.
One of the existing superstitions is based on the qualities that are attributed to this plant. It was believed that spruce has the property of drawing out all the vital forces from the owners of the house. Therefore, people did not even doubt that the plant would drink all the vitality and joy from them.
Disputes regarding whether planting a spruce near the house is a bad omen or not continue to this day. Some psychics claim that this plant absorbs other people’s energy only in the summer, and in winter the tree actively shares its accumulated forces. That is why in winter time When you experience weakness and vitamin deficiency, you just need to walk through a spruce forest and you will immediately gain more strength.
Signs and superstitions
The ancestors believed that a blue spruce on the site was a bad omen, especially one that grew to human height. It can mysteriously affect the occupants of the house and cause death. It is likely that the opinion about this coniferous tree was formed due to the fact that it ignites very quickly: where there is a fire, there is grief.
However, despite all the existing superstitions and prejudices that have existed since ancient times in Rus', today the cultivation of pine and spruce personal plot considered to be quite common. It is worth noting that many bioenergeticists believe that coniferous trees are capable of producing negative energy that have negative impact per person.
This tree has long been considered female, so it was not customary to plant it near the house. Like any other plant associated with the weaker sex, it easily survives from the house of all men. Not too much good attitude This is also due to the participation of this tree in the funeral rite, since the road to the cemetery was covered with thorny branches so that the soul of the deceased could not find the way back and would not disturb the relatives. The Christmas tree has a special influence on the atmosphere of the house. Esotericists are sure that it cleanses the energy of the house, eliminating any entities.
Scientific opinion on growing spruce
It is believed that a live Christmas tree or pine tree near the house is a bad omen, but all this can be explained from a scientific point of view. It is worth noting that this tree has a very powerful root system, which is located in upper layers soil. In strong winds, the plant may bend, which is dangerous for housing. Consequently, experts recommend planting spruce away from residential buildings.
Almost every superstition can be explained from a scientific point of view. Signs about Christmas trees are no exception. In Rus', people will not allow themselves to plant such trees near their houses, because they catch fire even from the slightest spark. And since the houses were completely wooden, a fire was guaranteed. Indeed, a spruce can be struck by lightning, but not because it is a cursed tree. Often it grows separately from others, in solitude. You shouldn't take bad omens at face value. In Russia, it is a very common practice to plant blue spruce near buildings.
What trees can be grown near the house?
It is not advisable to grow poplar, spruce and oak near the house. Many superstitions associated with plants can be explained scientifically. However, there are also various trees with good energy. If you want to grow a tree with positive energy, then you should pay attention to the following plants:
- juniper;
- acacia;
- maple;
- Rowan;
- pear;
- rose hip.
To ensure that the energy in the house is only positive, it is worth growing trees and flowers in your garden plot that can only bring benefits.
In addition, many people do not like to plant spruce next to residential buildings due to the fact that it grows tall with a dense crown. During a strong wind, the spruce could cover the chimney with its branches, causing the residents of the house to burn out.
Since ancient times, trees have been attributed magical properties who were able to cure diseases, attract financial well-being, love and luck.

What trees to plant near the house: the energy of trees and its impact on humans
Hello, my dear readers! Today I want to invite you to discuss very interesting topic– the energy of trees and its influence on us. Surely, many of you have heard that some trees can be planted near the house, but others cannot.
For example, a common misconception is that a birch tree planted next to a house brings bad luck. This is nothing more than a bad omen. In fact, each person has his own tree that is beneficial.
From this article you will learn what trees to plant near the house so that they bring you good luck and give you energy.
Donor trees and biovampire trees
Each tree has its own special aura, that is, energy. You may have heard that there are donor trees and biovampire trees. Donors are those trees that give a person their positive energy.
The most common of them are birch, oak, acacia, rowan, cedar, maple and pine. Communicating with these trees will give you a boost of strength and vigor. But you shouldn’t be afraid of bio-vampire trees either.

Planting trees near the house
People who are happy owners of country houses have an excellent opportunity to grow a luxurious garden next to their house, which will become wonderful place For family vacation warm summer evening. At the same time, many homeowners are often faced with the question of which trees can be planted on the site and which cannot, because each plant needs its own specific growing conditions, and planting some other species is even accompanied by various superstitions.
Planting trees near the house should be carried out depending on climatic conditions and the areas in which they will grow. The issue of climate is very important, since in unsuitable conditions the tree will not be able to develop normally.
For example, in the northern regions it is useless to plant fruit trees, and in the south - those that love low temperatures. It is also worth immediately highlighting the category of trees that are highly not recommended to be planted near a residential building, outbuildings and garden paths. One of these is Walnut, having a root system that grows with such force that there is a possibility of damage to the foundation of the house. Regarding folk beliefs, then it is undesirable to plant coniferous plants (pine and spruce) near your home, as they are considered harbingers of trouble.
There is an opinion that if such a tree grows higher than a house, its owners will soon be in trouble. Residents of the taiga regions, in turn, are not inclined to believe such statements. Coniferous trees They are found there in almost every home, bringing their owners nothing but pleasant emotions.
What trees should I plant near my house?
Birch
Birch will become an indispensable decoration for your garden if you consider yourself a nature lover. I love this plant very much Sun rays and pleases with a noticeable growth rate. Birch easily tolerates frosts and not very favorable soil conditions, but at the same time it categorically does not like transplanting.
In order for the tree to take root in a new place as successfully as possible, you should choose those seedlings whose age does not exceed 5-7 years. Early spring when the buds have not yet blossomed - perfect time for planting birch trees.
When planting a birch tree, it is worth taking into account the amount of water that it manages to absorb in one day (about 250 liters). Therefore, you will either need to set up a watering system for the tree or plant it away from other plants. For small gardens, it is best to choose low species, for example, Karelian birch. This tree goes well with willow, rowan, linden, beech, oak, bird cherry, maple and conifers.
Spruce
Spruce, which remains green throughout the year, can reach a height of up to 50 meters and live up to 300 years. Thanks to its planting, you can get a magnificent, almost impenetrable hedge, which will be reliable protection from gusts of wind. Spruce trees can be used to make an excellent hedge near the house. Single trees are planted, as a rule, next to the recreation area, gate or front parts of the garden plot.
Spruce is notable for the fact that its aroma contains phytoncide, which is a stimulator of cardiovascular and nervous systems, and also has a beneficial effect on the respiratory system. If you are using a tree grown in the forest to transplant into the garden, keep in mind that the plant will only take root in well-drained loamy, sandy loam or acidic soil. Long-term droughts and stagnation of water have an extremely negative impact on the development of spruce.
Spruce seedlings cannot tolerate drying out roots, which can die in the open air in just 15 minutes. To avoid this, during transportation, wrap the roots with a piece of damp cloth, then place them in a box or bucket of water.
Linden
Linden is considered one of the most shade-tolerant plants, rivaled only by spruce, fir, hornbeam and oak. Does well in soils with good drainage.
One of the most common planting options is the alley method, but linden can look beautiful even as a single plant. This tree has one remarkable quality - it can be shaped, cut or bent at any age, which makes it easy to obtain not only hedges, but also arches, balls, green arbors, pyramids, etc. Linden is one of those tree species that which can significantly improve the condition of the soil.
Linden gets along well next to rowan, oak, ash and maple.
Rowan
Rowan is a tree that was once considered a symbol of fertility, prosperity and prosperity, considered among Slavic peoples sacred. Thanks to its bright fruits and crimson leaves, it does not lose its decorative effect even in the winter season.
Its development does not require any special soil conditions, but the soil should not be swampy or too wet. Ideally, rowan is best planted in slight shade or in a sunny area.
This tree harmonizes well with spruce, pine, fir and deciduous trees, especially linden, black poplar, ash and white willow. Among the shrubs, rosehip, barberry and honeysuckle make an excellent pair with rowan. This tree is usually planted in September-October or in early spring.
Willow
Willow is known for the fact that its planting is not accompanied by any special difficulties; it is enough to just stick chopped shoots into previously prepared loose soil. Its cuttings take root surprisingly easily and quickly. It is recommended to plant it in early spring, before the buds open.
This tree will be a great decoration for your garden - weeping willow, planted in two rows, will create a magnificent shady alley, and a single silver or spherical one will complement a pond or garden path. An excellent solution would be an openwork arch formed by intertwined willow branches from two trees. If you dream of a hedge, choose a shrubby willow that can not only decorate, but also slightly shade the desired area of your garden.
How to remove a tree near the house?
Old and large trees are a real decoration of any garden, but, unfortunately, they are fraught with a certain danger - in a strong gust of wind, such a tree can easily fall directly onto the roof of the house. In such cases, trees are usually removed, and it is advisable to entrust this work to those people who have all the necessary equipment and experience. A tree is never completely cut down, since this method of removing it can cause a lot of trouble for nearby residential buildings.
