Dear Anon,

1. For a threat towards the interior of the home:

If one looks out of the window, one should not see a lone tree slicing thru the window. If so, a simple day curtain to screen or a blind would be useful.

2. Yin and Yang concept:

Often, a large tree is not advisable especially if it has lots of branches and leaves. The rationale here is that, because of the tree, what is underneath the tree becomes `dark' i.e. no sunlight penetrate thru. And it is because of this; that we consider the location or area `yin'.

Too yin, or darked area, is not really too good.

3. Often, it is said that spirits (or for those who believe in spirits); a spirit may harbour or hide inside the tree trunk. Not too ideal also.

4. At your end, as mentioned under Para 1, so long as the trunk of the tree does not slice into your house, this is acceptable. Often, we do not have control of our neighbour's action or property. But if the tree i.e. it's branches or leaves encroch into our property, we can, as a last resort take legal action.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
