A fruit tree consists of three different block types: tree stem, tree branch and tree leaves. While the stem only drops 3-7 firewood and the leaves do not drop anything when broken - unless they currently carry ripe fruit - only the tree branch blocks will drop fruit tree cuttings.<br>

Currently, fruit trees unfortunately will not regrow if branch parts are cut off, which means there is no reason in leaving the stem behind at the moment.
Currently, it appears that fruit trees unfortunately will not regrow if branch parts are cut off, however this might change in the future. To be on the safe side, the stem blocks should be left standing, since they do not drop cuttings anyhow.

When planting a fruit tree cutting directly in the ground, each of the cuttings has a 25% chance to take root. However, if they are planted outside of their temperature comfort zone, they will not take root no matter what - or they might grow up only to die during the winter.<br>
When planting a fruit tree cutting directly in the ground, each of the cuttings has a 25% chance to take root. However, if they are planted outside of their temperature comfort zone, where winter temperatures fall below their die-below temperature, they will not take root no matter what - or they might grow up only to die during the winter. It is recommended to check the temperature during winter - and specifically at night - before planting any fruit trees, to make sure the coldest reached temperature wont kill the fruit tree species that the player is planning to plant.<br>
The soil used to plant the cutting in does not influence the survival chances nor the growth speed.

== Growth Stages ==


Fruit trees will go through several stages of growth until they reach their maximum height of 6 blocks and maximum width of 5 blocks. Growth stages and the time between them are the same for all fruit tree species. They will simultaneously go through their seasonal changes as well, however those two do not influence each other - as long as the fruit tree has leaf and/or branch blocks, those can flower and bear fruit. However, leaf blocks that have not flowered and only grow while the rest of the tree is already in the fruiting or ripe phase will '''not''' adapt to the same seasonal stage and instead stay plain.<br>

It takes on average 8 days until the next growth stage is reached, however it can - very rarely - take less or more time, from 6 to a maximum of 10 days.<br>

A growth stage can either be an upwards or sideways growth. This means the tree will cycle through growing one block taller and then adding additional leaf blocks until the full "volume" for the current height is reached. The last few growth stages are different from this cycle, since once the tree has reached its maximum height, it will instead concentrate on only growing sideways until it has again filled its maximum "volume".<br><br>
