In order for the dacha to look beautiful and cozy, many people plant various shrubs and trees near the house.

However, not all plants that look good visually can be planted next to important buildings.

Some of them are very bad "neighbors" according to folk beliefs. Others can simply harm your foundation due to their powerful root system.

What trees should not be planted near a summer house?

Try not to plant a birch. Despite all its beauty, the tree has no place on the site. The weeping willow also has a bad "reputation".

Experienced summer residents also advise to beware of planting poplar and aspen. Planting thujas will be an ambiguous decision. It is better to make a kind of hedge from them, but not to plant them near the house.

Fir and elm are also not suitable for this purpose.

But rose hips, viburnum, rowan and acacia will be a wonderful decoration of the site. You can also consider the option of decorative maple.
