Tree
Natural Generation
There are many varieties of trees that spawn in the world. Some of these trees can naturally spawn in massive variants, such as big oaks. Keep in mind that these large variants cannot be replanted, as they only spawn in naturally (with the exception of redwood). Planting 2x2 saplings will not create bigger variants of the normal trees.
Propagation
Trees and bamboo are propagated by planting seeds. When placed on any soil, the seed will take 1 day to grow into a sapling, and anywhere between 5 and 28 days to grow into a tree or bamboo provided weather conditions are ideal. When trees/bamboo are harvested, seeds drop rarely. To acquire more seeds, break the leaves manually before cutting the tree/bamboo.
Special Cases
Some tree variants are spawned during world creation such as large kapok, and old kapok. These larger variants of trees cannot be regrown.

* Greenspire cypress log, when broken, only drops firewood.
Harvesting
When the player needs wood, trees are best harvested using an axe.
When the player needs sticks or seeds, the foliage of the tree should be broken first. Breaking leaves with shears harvests foliage blocks in a 3 X 3 area. Shears in itself do not raise the drop probability for saplings, however they allow faster harvesting than breaking every block by hand. Keep in mind that felling the tree with an axe without prior de-leaving will lower the drop chances of seeds for the remaining foliage.
When the player wants saplings, wait for a seed to grow into a sapling, and break the sapling.
Usage
When harvested, trees drop logs, sticks, and seeds.
Fuel
All wood items can be used as fuel and logs will burn for different lengths of time, depending on the wood type.
Crafting
Logs can be converted into boards using a saw or firewood using an axe in the crafting grid.
Special Use Drops
Pine: Trees generate resin that can be harvested and used as an essential component in Wood Lamellar Armor. Pine Trees are currently the only trees that yield this product.
Special Use Logs
Oak: When added to water is used to make tannin, an essential component in leather working. Oak logs are currently the only logs that can be used for this process.
Bamboo
Bamboo is a special subclass of tree. When harvested, bamboo drops bamboo stakes and saplings. Bamboo stakes may be crafted into bamboo planks. Both stakes and blocks can be burned as fuel in a firepit.
Storage
Logs stack to 16 and can be transported in the player's inventory or stored in stationary containers, but may not be stacked on solid surfaces, (though log products including boards and firewood can be stacked on solid blocks). Seeds and stick stack to 64 and can be transported in the player's inventory or stored in stationary containers. Saplings may also be stored in flower pots or planters for base decoration.
