If there is a tree in it, of course, it will block out the sun. The roots of trees will destroy the flat courtyard and hinder the drying and sorting of grain, so there is a saying that "there can be no trees in the courtyard"
With the progress and change of modern production mode, these uses of courtyards no longer exist, especially the courtyards of modern buildings. It is far-fetched to say that it is "sleepy" because of planting trees.
The death of trees is a sign that life can't feed itself. The local scenery of the courtyard, the fragrance of flowers and your house will be combined into a whole. Feng Shui originally looked at the environment from a holistic perspective. If the trees planted in the yard die, the dead trees will be integrated with the house to form an overall landscape. That decadent influence will not be conducive to the palace fortune.
Dead trees must be cut down, because dead trees symbolize economic depression and are a sign of destruction. In addition, although some big trees are flourishing, there are big holes in their trunks near the soil, which means that women at home are prone to get sick and should be cut off in feng shui.
