Dear Anon,

1. Yes, on the `surface', trees do seem to be not as advantages. But, most of the time: it depends.

2. The key to this is understanding what is good and `not so favourable' about trees.

3. I will try to recall as many points on trees so that you may have a better understanding:-

3.1 Good: Contrary to popular belief, overall, trees are considered as a `secret weapon' in Feng Shui. The rationale is because with trees, we often have birds. (Or birds chirping away!)

3.2 Good: In a flat location, at the mercy of barren earth, rows of trees can help to slow down `sha qi'.

3.3 Bad: Trees are considered `bad' because, some trees overgrow. And because of this, sunlight is blocked. As a result, a large shadow is cast below this location.

For example, If the house has a North to South orientation, trees planted at the North e.g. (frontage) or South (backyard); - this may result in a very yin house or environment within this house.

3.4 For an adult, this can still be tolerable. But imagine, if we have a poor child growing in such an environment. In the future, when this child grows up, there may perhaps be a tendency for him/her to try to select such a house. Or, if not, he/she may even use heavy dark curtains to create such an effect.

3.5 Too yin a house, is thus not advantages for a healthy growing child. More yang activity is better.

3.6 Frankly, there is no issue with trees: other than if the tree trunk slices thru the window. For example, when one stands inside the house/window, a tree trunk slicing inwards of the house is not advantages. But, if it is a bunch of branches, then, so long as it is maintained, is good. If the tree is not properly trimmed, often, the branches could stick into the home. And insects could craw into the home.

3.7 In areas, that are relatively damp; the worry is of the termites.

3.8 Sometime back, I wrote a forum message, that several years back, I visited a home in St Michael's estate in Singapore. This bungalow, happens to be situated approximately 2 kilometers from a canal.

3.9 The "Feng Shui" of the house was considered not favourable: not so much of the actual qi flow but because, one can see cracks on the floor. By chance, I peered at what was felt as cracked ceramic tiles; a termite, came out to `greet' me thru the hole.

4.0 Bad: If the tree has rotted and has become a stump. And rotting trunk, may harbour termites.

4.1 In my country, there is a belief that spirits could hide in a tree.

To be continued, in second, part.

Warmest Regards
Cecil
