The fashion for conifers and the desire to decorate the landscape makes homeowners think about the question of whether it is possible to plant a spruce in their summer cottage. The terrible omens of folk omens explain why it is impossible to plant trees on a personal plot or near a house. 
Modern esoteric experts argue that spruce takes energy only in the warm season, and in the cold it gives
In fairness, it should be noted that negative superstitions about a New Year tree planted in the courtyard were invented in regions where spruce does not grow at all. But since bad omens do exist, you should familiarize yourself with them before deciding whether to plant a tree in the yard.
Spruce at home
The tree 'brings' the dead – this superstition arose from the tradition of using fir paws for burials. The bodies of the deceased were covered with branches of an evergreen tree, they covered the courtyard and the grave, and they made wreaths of them.
The ancient Slavs believed that one should not plant a fir tree near the house, because a woman would remain lonely or childless, and at best, she could only give birth to daughters.
Similar superstitions were common throughout Europe. The most famous belief associated with the Christmas tree appeared in Finland. The first colonists planted a fir tree near Lake Keitele. They recognized this tree as a symbol of good luck. The first fruits of the new harvest were brought to its foot, and only after that they were consumed.
This beautiful legend has a sad component: when a branch dried up on the tree, one of the very first colonists went to another world. When the spruce dried up completely and fell, the last old woman died, one of the first to come to develop new territories.
Only the descendants of the first settlers continued to live. And the representatives of the older generation left this world along with the tree, which symbolized their luck, abundance and vitality. But the Finns consider all types of evergreen trees to be a symbol of immortality, they attribute divine power to conifers.
Among other peoples, spruce was also considered a sacred tree, which establishes a connection between two worlds (Yavu and Navu). In Karelia, it is customary to confess spruce, and in Komi, spruce paws are brought to a dying sorcerer so that he will tell everything to the tree and calmly leave the world.
Why you can't plant a fir tree in the yard
Ate was considered a gloomy tree that took away the happiness and vitality of the residents – this is an important reason why you should not plant a tree next to the house. There is a saying: 'it is good to have fun under a birch, and to hang under a tree'. This dictum does not fit well with New Year's signs.
The proverb is most likely about a large accumulation of fir trees, when the sun's rays do not penetrate under their branches, and nothing grows at the foot of the trees except fly agarics.
The Christmas tree is a 'muzhegon', she drives men out of the house. And it prevents a lonely person from finding a 'soul mate'
Modern esoteric experts argue that spruce takes energy only in the warm season, and in the cold – gives it away. Therefore, those who do not tolerate the cold are advised to walk among the trees.
Bad omens:
- When the spruce grows taller than the person who planted it, he will be in trouble.
- As soon as the tree outgrows the building next to which it is planted, the owner of the house will have global problems.
- The owner of the land plot is not happy if the tree dries up or dies for other reasons.
- Anyone who chops down or ruins the tree is at risk of injury to the lower extremities.
- The spruce will 'suck' all the joy from the residents of the building, they will be unhappy.
- In the house next to the tree, bad energy reigns, people drink too much, thoughts of suicide are possible.
- The Christmas tree is a 'muzhegon', she drives men out of the house. And it prevents a lonely person from finding a soul mate.
- In a young family, only girls will be born next to the spruce, you can not even dream of a newborn boy. And this is in the event that the spouses do not quarrel, and do not disperse.
The above is enough to prevent even the thought of planting a forest beauty in the immediate vicinity of your 'mansion'. But there are reasons why people plant trees in their area and in front of the house:
- The lush crown pleases with fresh greens all year round.
- The aroma of the needles, which intensifies after the rain, is not only pleasant, but also helps to heal diseases of the respiratory organs and the nervous system.
- In order for the year to be successful, on New Year's Eve it is recommended to dance around the Christmas tree growing in the ground.
- With its appearance, spruce gives the landscape a solemnity, which means it attracts wealth.

Different types of conifers differ in their energy. It is recommended to plant junipers near the house. But the pine in the minds of the people is very similar to the spruce. According to superstition, it is not advisable to grow pine in a summer cottage. It is believed that she will transmit negative to her surroundings.
