Placenta burial - do i need to wait a year to plant the tree?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi there,
I wasn't really sure where to post this. We are wanting to bury my son's placenta on his 2nd birthday and I've read a couple of times that you should wait a year after burying the placenta before planting the tree. The reason being that that the earth will be to nutrient rich and the tree will die. We probably won't be in the country for his 3rd birthday, so would like to do the burying and plant the the tree on the same day. Has any one planted the tree and buried the placenta together. Did your tree die or was it ok?
Also, does any one know of any nice blessings to say at the burial?
Thanks so much,
petra

We planted jasmine over our first son's placenta - on the same day. And it's been almost 2 years (next week) and the jasmine is doing great.
