Steps to Grow a Tree

When you have a sapling to plant, put it in your hotbar and select it as the item.

Next, put your pointer (the plus sign) where you want to plant the tree on the block. The block should turn highlighted in your game window.

Depending on the version of Minecraft, the control to plant the tree is as follows:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
  • Press the LT button on the Xbox controller for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
  • Press the L2 button on the PS controller for the PS3 and PS4.
  • For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
  • For Education Edition, right click on the block.

You should now see your sapling appear on the ground. Now at this point, you have two choices. You have two choices: either wait for your tree to mature naturally or use bone meal to hasten the growth process.

Fertilize the Sapling

Use the bone meal on your sapling after choosing it from your hotbar to hasten the growth process.

Depending on the version of Minecraft, the following controls are used to use the bone meal:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the sapling.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the sapling.
  • Press the LT button on the Xbox controller for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
  • Press the L2 button on the PS controller for the PS3 and PS4.
  • For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the sapling.
  • For Education Edition, right click on the sapling.

Before you see your tree begin to grow into a full-grown tree, it might take a few bone meals.

FAQ

Why wont my sapling grow in Minecraft?

Depending on the type of sapling, it needs a minimum of 9 light levels and a specific amount of space above it. For example, an oak sapling needs at least 5 spaces above (33 column) to grow normally.

How long does it take for saplings to grow in Minecraft?

This can amount to roughly three attempts per minute for any given tree, but a tree typically doesn’t start to grow until almost 30 minutes have passed since planting.

How do you grow a tree sapling?

Backfill the hole with soil, then use your hands to gently press the soil down around the sapling. Around the sapling’s base, spread a thick layer of mulch to aid in moisture retention and control weeds. After planting, regular watering will be necessary for a year or two until the root system takes hold.

How do saplings work in Minecraft?

Any Dirt or Grass block can be used to plant saplings, and they will develop into new trees if the block above them has a light level of at least 9 and there are at least a specific number of empty blocks, depending on the type of sapling.
