Planting trees on this planet is a very pious issue. We should not stop planting trees. At the same time, I request all not to cut trees in the name of Vastu. Trees all around the house give us fresh air and keep pollution away. The green trees will help us in increasing positive thoughts and gives us peace of mind.

Trees will give attraction to the house. They make the land cool and brings a good look to the area. They will help reduce greenhouse gases. That will give us good health and wealth also.

We should keep a good gap between the two trees and also the distance between the walls of the house and compound wall.

As per Vastu, one should keep more open space towards North and East. The open place should be less towards South and West directions. When we plant trees we should keep this point in mind. It is better to plant trees on the west side and south side of the houses. Plants which are heavy and tall should be on the southwest side.
We can have plants on northeast also but they should be light and less length than the plants what we have on the southwest. The distance from the compound wall to the trees should be more than what we have on southwest. You should not have plants on northeast if you don't have plants on the southwest corner. Small plants can be there on the north side.

Trees or greenery not only add beauty to the house or surrounding, but it also provides clean and fresh oxygen. Vastu Shastra believes that the trees help to balance the flow of positive energy, bring prosperity and wealth. When we follow the Vastu Shastra principle while planting trees or doing gardening, it will help us to control our mood, bring fortune and good health.

Vastu Shastra believes that every garden impersonates one of the five elements of Panch Bhoota i.e. Prithvi or earth, Jal or water, Agni or fire, Vayu or wind and, space. Each direction and the elements that it resembles are:
i) The north-east direction represents water
ii) The north-west represents air
iii) The south-east represents fire
iv) The south-west represents earth
v) The centre represents space

Trees to be planted as per the directions are:-
a) In the North direction: This is a very favourable direction. You can plant a 'Tulsi' or 'Holy Basil' in the centre. Note that you plant only small plants and plant without thorns in this direction. The only exception is for the Rose. You can add a water fountain to highlight beauty but avoid rock or rock paintings in this direction.

b) In the South direction: Vastu Shastra advice this portion to be left free as it does not encourage the flow of water source in this direction. If you want to plant than try hanging type pots or plants that require less water.

c) In the East direction: This direction is ideal for kitchen gardening and can plant fruit plants, vegetable plants or the plants that bring prosperity, fortune or wealth like the money plant, etc.

d) In the West direction: This direction can be used to plant big or tall trees but should be planted at a distance from the house. You can even use rocks or statues to enhance its beauty. Trees like Mango, Chickoo, Jackfruit, banana, etc can be planted in this area.
