Corrupted trees in world gen?
Since 1.0.4, are corrupted trees now generated at world generation, or have they been generated at world generation since 1.0.3? --Croben 17:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

i think corrupted trees were around but in 1.0.3 the world just had to generate them, no other trees could experience corruption, which could of made or a wood crisis by the corruptions borders, the world gen had nothing to do with it but i would rather say its an anomallyed bug

General rule
At least in 1.1, all a tree needs, is a minimum 3 tiles wide, 16 tiles high, of open space (planting the sapling in the middle of the 3 tiles) --190.204.138.198 20:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Grass Stopping
Are you sure about this?? Haven't checked if grass stops them, since I keep trimming it, but so far I haven't seen one grow with untrimmed grass. --190.204.138.198 20:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Tree Separation
The closest you can grow trees is 1 tile apart from each other, like this: tree trunk, empty tile, tree trunk To accomplish this you need to respect the general rule, so you have to chop any root from the other tree in the empty tile, and cut the branches as well. --190.204.138.198 20:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Maximum and Minimum height??
what's the max height for world gen and player planted trees? is there a minimum?? --190.204.138.198 20:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Random wood laying around??
as of 1.1 I keep finding random 1 stacks of wood just lying around at the bases of trees, specially at night, my theory is that Falling Stars can now hit the branches/roots and knock them into a wood item in the same manner they hit herbs, mushrooms and mobs. Yet I still lack VISUAL CONFIRMATION --190.204.138.198 20:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * This is more likely due to network glitching- or perhaps a clown or dynamite trap- I have never seen a star act like an axe at all. Have you tried building a wooden skybridge or artificial sky forest to possibly confirm? 209.63.138.34 01:09, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Dirt walls prevent grass from growing?
User:Nozaj darkcaster added the fact that you can place a layer of dirt walls to prevent grass from growing. I fixed the punctuation for now, but is this assumption correct? --Toxik 19:07, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

190.204.138.198 Wouldn't the dirt wall also prevent the tree from growing?? --190.204.138.198 20:55, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Greenhouse for trees?
Do glass backwalls prevent trees from growing like regular backwalls?

Artificial Jungle: Tree growth
"Because jungle trees grow on jungle grass, which grows on mud, it seems therefore impossible to make artificial jungle trees in the current version of the game."

Is this still valid since 1.1? --KazarSanaga 03:59, 19 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I think what this sentence is trying to say is that you can't plant acorns in the jungle, to make "artificial" trees. If that is what they meant, then it could definitely be worded better. --GauHelldragon 04:18, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * it is worded incorrectly but it is true that jungle trees can't spontaneously grow like they used to without acorns. due to being mud, acorns might not work i didn't bother to try, sorry.  98.134.162.247 04:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I made a ~50 block mud patch and planted jungle grass on it. It took a long while, but a jungle tree did grow. After reading this post I tried an acorn and I can confirm it didn't work. My original reason for the topic was to see if players could make jungle tree farms; but due to my testing it seems more effective to just make a traditional tree farm using acorns. --KazarSanaga 04:59, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Corrupt or Ebonwood?
Should Corrupt trees be renamed to Ebonwood, as the wood they drop in 1.2, or should a new section be made for this? --DragooKnight
