Description
A Cherry Sapling is the small planting unit that players use to grow cherry trees and to start an orchard of soft coloured wood. It is the seed of a full grown cherry tree and it brings life to gardens parks and planned forests in a way that looks natural and cared for. The sapling will grow into a full tree over time if it has enough space light and soil and it can be encouraged to grow faster with bone meal. For players who like to create themed areas a Cherry Sapling is the first step to creating a grove of matching wood rich trees that supply logs planks and leaves for building projects. Saplings are also important because they are renewable and easy to transport allowing you to plant trees close to your base for a steady supply of new wood. They are small and simple to use yet they have a big impact on the look of a world once many are planted and left to mature. When managed well saplings can form neat avenues and shaded park areas and they are perfect for dressing the surroundings of houses and temples. Many builders plant saplings close together to form hedged canopies or to create orchard rows that can be harvested on a schedule. A Cherry Sapling also offers a satisfying progression where a single tiny plant eventually becomes a large tree that can be cut down for building materials and then replanted again.
What is Cherry Sapling?
A Cherry Sapling is a young plant block that grows into a cherry tree when given space and light. It acts as a renewable source of cherry wood and it is used for landscaping and for creating orchards. It is a decorative object while it is small and it becomes a structural material source as it matures.
Where to find Cherry Sapling
Cherry Saplings are found by breaking Cherry Leaves in cherry grove biomes and in player planted orchards. You will also find them when exploring cherry forests where they occur naturally under parent trees. In village gardens and in areas tended by players saplings are common because they are planted to keep the tree population steady.
How to get Cherry Sapling
Gather Cherry Saplings by breaking Cherry Leaves or by using shears carefully. They can drop from leaves when a tree is cut down and they are commonly collected by players who manage forests. In creative mode take saplings from the inventory. Trade or buy saplings from player shops on multiplayer servers to expand an orchard quickly.
