An old saying passed down from ancestors goes, "Plant a pomegranate in the east for gold, and a persimmon in the west for silver," which means planting a pomegranate tree on the east side of the courtyard has the effect of attracting wealth.
When the pomegranate tree blooms, the entire tree is covered in a crimson color, which looks very festive and symbolizes good fortune and auspiciousness.
The pomegranate bears many fruits, which are heavy and full of seeds. Planting a pomegranate tree in the courtyard symbolizes numerous offspring and prosperity, so many elderly people plant a pomegranate tree in their courtyard.
Planting a persimmon tree in the courtyard signifies smooth sailing!
The saying "plant a persimmon in the west for silver" means it is better to plant a persimmon tree on the west side of the courtyard. Since "persimmon" sounds similar to "affair" in Chinese, it represents smooth affairs and wishes coming true.
When the persimmon tree blooms, it looks like small yellow trumpets. After blooming, the tree is filled with persimmons that start out green, then gradually turn red as the weather gets colder. By the time the leaves fall off, only the ripe persimmons remain on the tree!

There are many varieties of cassia, with the most common being golden cassia, silver cassia, red cassia, and four-season cassia. They are generally planted in front of the door, symbolizing the beauty of having two cassia trees in the courtyard and the sweet fragrance of dual cassia trees.
