What is Cherry Sapling in Minecraft?
A cherry sapling is a tiny, non solid block that represents the first stage of life for a cherry tree. It looks like a miniature version of the full grown tree, with a small, dark trunk and a puff of pink leaves. The main purpose of a cherry sapling is to grow new cherry trees. By planting one, players can create a renewable source of cherry wood and leaves, which is incredibly important for building projects that use this beautiful pink wood. This means you can create a tree farm right next to your base and never have to travel back to a cherry grove to gather more. The cherry sapling is the key to sustainability in Minecraft, allowing you to regrow the resources you consume.
How to get Cherry Sapling in Minecraft
The only way to get a cherry sapling is by breaking the leaves of a cherry tree. You can find these beautiful pink trees in cherry grove biomes, which are often located on mountains. When you break a cherry leaf block with your hand or a regular tool, there is a five percent chance that it will drop a cherry sapling. A more effective method is to chop down the entire tree and wait for its leaves to decay on their own. As the leaves disappear, they will drop saplings and sticks on the ground for you to collect. Using a tool with the Fortune enchantment on the leaves can significantly increase the drop rate of saplings, making it much easier to start your own cherry orchard. The Wandering Trader does not sell this sapling, so finding a cherry grove is your only option.
How to use Cherry Sapling in Minecraft
The main use for a cherry sapling is to grow a new cherry tree. To do this, you need to plant it on a block like dirt, grass, or podzol. It also needs plenty of light and enough empty space around and above it to grow. After a random amount of time, the sapling will mature into a full sized cherry tree, which you can then harvest for logs and leaves. If you are in a hurry, you can use bone meal on the sapling to make it grow instantly. This is the core mechanic behind building a tree farm. Besides growing trees, the cherry sapling has a couple of other uses. You can place it in a flower pot to use it as a small decorative houseplant, which looks very cute with its pink leaves. It can also be used as fuel in a furnace, but it is not very efficient.
