A '''sapling''' is a non-solid [[block]] that can be grown into a [[tree]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Saplings can be [[instant mining|broken instantly]] using any tool, including the player's fist, and always drop themselves.
{{breaking row|Saplings|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
; Spruce
Potted spruce saplings generate in [[taiga]] and [[snowy taiga]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}} [[village]] mason houses.

; Birch
Potted birch saplings generate in the "Large dining room" and "Master bedroom" rooms in [[woodland mansion]]s.

; Dark oak
The "Sapling farm" room in woodland mansions naturally generates with 58 dark oak saplings and a [[chest]] that always contains an additional 28 dark oak saplings.

; Acacia
Two acacia saplings generate in front of each [[savanna]] village library.

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sapling,spruce-sapling,acacia-sapling,dark-oak-sapling}}

=== Trading ===
Each type of sapling is sold by the [[wandering trader]] for 5 [[emerald]]s.

=== Post-generation ===
When [[leaves]] decay, or are broken by any tool except [[shears]] or tools without [[Silk Touch]], they have a 5.1% chance of dropping a sapling, except for jungle leaves, which have a 2.6% chance of dropping a sapling.
The [[Fortune]] enchantment increases the rate to 6.26% (2.79% for jungle leaves) at level I, 8.34% (3.126% for jungle leaves) at level II, and 10.1% (4.18% for jungle leaves) at level III.

== Usage ==
=== Growing trees ===
{{see also|Tree}}

Saplings come in seven varieties, each of which can grow into a corresponding tree: [[oak]], [[birch]], [[spruce]], [[jungle tree|jungle]], [[acacia]], [[dark oak]], [[pale oak]], and [[cherry]]. In addition, [[azalea]]s and [[mangrove propagule]]s can also grow trees.

Saplings have two growth stages (with no visible difference between them using default resources) before growing into trees. When a tree is to be grown, a height is chosen and then the ground and space above are checked; if the ground is bad or there is not space for the chosen height, the tree does not grow. [[Bone meal]] can be {{control|used}} to speed up the growth of the sapling, even to grow the tree without sufficient light.

Saplings can grow into trees when placed on all variants of [[dirt]] (except [[dirt path]]s) or [[moss block]]s. The block above the sapling requires a [[light]] level of at least 9. A certain volume of space is required above the sapling, based on its type:

* Oak needs at least 5 spaces above (3×3 column) to grow normally. If a block is present in the growth space (but not directly above the sapling), the tree still grows, but is forced to grow a large variant.
* Birch needs at least 6 spaces above (3×3 column).
* Spruce needs at least 6 spaces above (5×5 column) when placing a single sapling.
** Giant spruce needs at least 14 spaces above (6×6 column{{only|BE}} or 5×5 column centered on the northwest sapling{{only|JE}}) when planted as 4 saplings in a 2×2 square. Also requires the 4×4 area centered on the saplings{{only|BE}} or 3×3 area centered on the northwest sapling{{only|JE}} at the same level to be empty.<ref name="MC-8187">{{Cite bug|MC|8187|Two by two arrangements of jungle or spruce saplings cannot grow into trees when surrounded by snow|date=January 24, 2013}}</ref>
* Jungle needs at least 5 spaces above (3×3 column) when placing a single sapling.
** Giant jungle needs at least 11 spaces above (6×6 column) when planted as 4 saplings in a 2×2 square. Also requires the 4×4 area centered on the saplings at the same level to be empty.<ref name="MC-8187"></ref>
* Acacia needs at least 6 spaces above (5×5 column).
* Dark oak and pale oak need at least 7 spaces above (6×6 column) and must be planted as 4 saplings in a 2×2 square.
* Cherry needs at least 9 spaces above (5x5 column).

In addition:
* A spruce or jungle sapling cannot grow if it is part of a 2×2 square of saplings that doesn't meet the requirements for a giant tree.<!--Tested in 1.16.1-->
* Except for giant jungle and giant spruce (as noted above), sapling growth is not affected by nearby blocks on the same level as the sapling(s).

{{IN|java}}, blocks in the {{cd|#replaceable_by_trees}} [[tag]] are treated as empty, and all types of log blocks, wood blocks, stripped variants, and leaves are exceptions (they don't stop growth). {{IN|bedrock}}, log and wood blocks are treated like other block types and stop the sapling from growing if they are above it.

When a sapling on a [[grass block]] grows into a tree, the grass block becomes a dirt block.

=== Bee nests ===
Oak, birch, and cherry [[tree]]s grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any [[flower]], [[flowering azalea]],{{only|je|short=1}} or [[flowering azalea leaves]]{{only|je|short=1}} have a 5% chance to grow with a [[bee nest]] and 2-3 bees in it.

=== Decoration ===
Any kind of sapling can be placed in a [[flower pot]].

=== Fuel ===
Saplings can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 0.5 items per sapling.

=== Composting ===
Placing a sapling into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of saplings yields an average of 2.74 [[bone meal]].
