Coniferous trees look very impressive, give the local landscape a finished, attractive and natural look, so they are often used to decorate suburban areas.
Those who want to plant these plants near their home should be aware of the disadvantages of planting coniferous trees in a country house.
One of the main disadvantages is that the root system of coniferous trees develops very quickly and grows in different directions, inhibiting the growth of other plants growing on the site.
The roots of spruce and other coniferous trees suck out most of the microelements and other useful substances from the soil.
It should also be noted that the resin, which is contained in large quantities in the needles, not only intensifies but also maintains the combustion process for a long time. If a fire suddenly starts on the site, the needles will intensify it.
In addition, if there is a tall coniferous tree growing in the yard, it can easily fall on the house when burning.
Despite the fact that the root system of conifers is well developed, it is located too close to the uppermost soil horizon, so a small hurricane or strong wind can easily knock down a tree.
If the plant is located near a house, then during a storm it can easily fall onto the building.
The soil in which coniferous trees grow gradually changes its composition and very quickly becomes acidic; harmful microorganisms often appear in it, which feel great in an acidic environment.
Not all plants will be able to grow normally in acidic soil, so the space around coniferous trees will most likely remain empty.
Pines and other coniferous trees contain a large amount of essential oils that have a positive effect on air quality. Essential oils contained in needles soothe, improve well-being, and help cope with prolonged depression.
The strong aroma of pine needles can increase blood pressure and greatly worsen the well-being of a person suffering from hypertension.
