Note: The tree needs a 3x3 space around it to completely grow. If any building or trees is immediately next to it, its growth will be stunted. Also trees grows faster upon its native terrain. For example, a fir tree will grow faster than an apple tree in the forest

3x3 is a misnomer. The tree require 3x it's own size as a radius to achieve the next stage of development. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with tiles.

The only things that stunt tree growth include anything that has a hitbox.
