Vastu prohibits peepal in the east, banyan in the west, goolar in the north and paakar in the south as they silently hamper the peace in humans. But many trees like neem, mango, and anaar provide good results in all directions.

Big Tree 

The fact is that Vastu does not recommend any big tree near the main building of the house as they slowly destroy the foundations and create subtle restlessness in the environment. Big trees create a serious Vaastu dosh if their shadow falls on the house. Vastu recommends tall trees with a big spread and thick green leaves in the south, west or south-west corner of palaces, big houses, colonies, and farmhouses to enhance their retention power for positive urja. They should never be located in the North-East sector ( except awla), where they obstruct the free flow of jaivik, pranic and positive energy from nature.

Milky & Thorny plants 

Except for few medicinal plants, all thorny plants give rise to tensions in the environment. Cactus is the worst.
Tree and plants exuding white sap should also be kept off. Lime and Karanda etc. are OK in an orchard but not in residence or business premises.
Growing creepers/climbers with support on the compound wall or a house wall are best avoided.

Tulasi (Basil)

According to Vaastu, one of the most powerful and auspicious plants is the Tulsi or basil plant. This shrub, which has great medicinal value, can purify the atmosphere and keep mosquitoes away.
