According to Feng Shui: Avoid Planting These 4 Types of Trees in Front of Your House to Boost Prosperity and Wealth

According to popular belief and the principles of Feng Shui, the selection of trees planted in front of your home can greatly impact your fortune and well-being.

This article highlights four common trees you should carefully reconsider planting in front of your house to ensure harmony, prosperity, and good fortune for your home.


1. Jackfruit Tree (ខ្នុរ)

The jackfruit tree is familiar to many Cambodians, especially in rural areas where it is often planted around houses for its delicious fruit and generous shade.

However, according to Feng Shui experts (citing VnExpress), jackfruit trees are not ideal for planting in front of the house.

  • Jackfruit trees are large, with dense leaves and many branches, which can block the natural flow of wind into the home.

  • This obstruction creates stagnant energy, leading to blockages in life opportunities and financial growth.

  • Moreover, some believe the jackfruit tree carries more negative than positive energy when placed at main energy entry points like the house front.

  • Additionally, due to its size and weight, falling branches could cause serious accidents, especially dangerous for young children.

👉 Instead of planting jackfruit trees in front of your house, it is recommended to plant them toward the backyard or the corners of your garden to enjoy their benefits without affecting your Feng Shui.


2. Mulberry Tree

According to Feng Shui experts, planting a mulberry tree in front of your house is believed to attract bad luck.

It can disrupt family harmony and negatively impact the homeowner’s wealth.

  • If you love the mulberry tree, it’s better to plant it at the far end of the garden or in a location out of direct sight from the front.

  • This not only respects Feng Shui principles but also helps maintain a balanced and harmonious living environment.


3. Banana Tree

Banana trees are popular in rural Cambodia because they are easy to grow and quick to yield fruit.

However, traditional beliefs caution that banana trees can negatively impact luck if planted in the wrong location, especially in front of the house.

  • Banana trees are soft, moisture-heavy, and tend to attract negative energy.

  • Their large leaves can block light and airflow, both of which are important for maintaining positive energy flow.

  • Some people believe that banana trees in front of the house bring feelings of insecurity, darkness, and even spiritual unease, especially at night.

👉 Therefore, planting banana trees directly in front of your home not only affects the beauty of your property but also reduces positive energy inside the house.


🎯 Conclusion

Following Feng Shui principles when planning your home garden layout can greatly enhance your prosperity, emotional well-being, and financial stability.

While these trees are beloved for their practical uses, it’s essential to place them carefully to avoid unintended negative effects.

✅ Plant thoughtfully.

✅ Maintain positive energy flow.

✅ Invite luck, wealth, and harmony into your life!
