What does a tree mean in coffee grounds?
Growth, family roots, a long-term project taking hold.
The tree is the symbol of slow, deep growth. Wherever it appears, it tells you that something you've planted - a project, a relationship, a habit - is putting down real roots.
Meaning
A tall tree with full branches means strong growth ahead, often family-related (a child, a home, a multi-generational decision). A bare or broken tree warns that something needs care or pruning. Several trees together mean a thriving environment - community, team, family.

FAQ
Does a tree mean having a child?
Sometimes - especially if combined with hearts or rings. But it can equally mean a family business, a home, or a multi-year project.
