Trees stop growing?

[Fluffy]

I'm not sure if this is truly a bug, but sometimes trees just stop growing. They have enough room, they just decide to stop.


The two mulberry's (west) were planted at the same time shortly after the apple trees, the two apple trees (east) were planted at the same time.

Oh sorry, think i pissed on ur trees
after drinking an insane amount of
coffee. Turns out it DOES stunt your
growth after all eh?

Loftar has stated before that if anything happens to be blocking their growth at the moment they would grow, they will never try to grow again. My guess is something or someone happened to be in the way at the exact right time.

The lower mulberry is waiting for decay hits from the server, that's how trees grow to their last stage. The upper tree seems to have been blocked by something when its growth timer clicked in.

Edit: woops, I forget how fully grown mulberries look like. The upper tree is the one waiting for the hit, the apple trees probably did just get blocked in the middle of their growth cycle

I don't recall ever blocking the apple trees other than the times I've taken branches and apples off of them. Would my character block them?

Anyway, Pacho, the upper mulberry has been like that for a few days and I've never touched it or blocked it in any way. >.>

To me it looks like that hearth
and that dream catcher are way
to close for a trees little comfort
bubble

Wait, does it consider it's growth blocked if something is within an area as big as the leafs, or if it's to the point where not even your character can go any further?

[Pacho]

trees start off taking 1 tile, as they're growing they start needing more tiles around them until they take a 3x3 area, if that area is blocked when they attempt to get to the next stage they become stunted and stop growing.

The very last stage of trees requires a server decay hit, so its not bound by a timer, only luck.
