It will come as no news to anyone that each tree has its own energy.

Some plants help us replenish spent resources, while others have a beneficial effect on our emotional and psychological state.

That is why the question of what kind of tree to plant near your home must be approached with full responsibility.

According to folk wisdom, rowan is an excellent choice.

According to our ancestors, both red and black rowan are endowed with magical properties.

These plants fulfilled dreams of a long-awaited child, financial well-being, peace and quiet, luck, etc. - if they were planted in the right place.

For example, if the owners of the house dreamed of a child, they planted this tree on the south side of the house and waited for the first fruits to appear on it - then the woman would become pregnant.

If they wanted to have no shortage of money, they planted rowan trees on the north side.

Newlyweds were supposed to plant this tree on the eastern side of the house so that peace and quiet would always reign there. Advisers unanimously insisted that rowan helps to successfully overcome the first year after marriage, which is considered the most difficult.

Finally, those who valued talent and luck most were advised to find a place for the rowan tree on the western side of their home.

Rowan trees were also always planted next to wooden buildings – on any side – because they believed that they could protect the building from fire.

In addition, our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers used rowan to fight evil spirits. To do this, you had to hang a rowan wreath on the door - then no one with bad intentions would be able to step over the threshold.
