Sapling

Cherry trees are found only in cherry groves with distinct pink leaves and curved branches. As with oaks and birches, a cherry tree grown near flowers can generate with a bee nest attached.

Appearance

A cherry tree has one trunk which curves horizontally and sometimes splits into two branches, before they grow upward again and create the canopy. The canopies are mostly cubic with some leaves hanging downward, dropping many leaf particles below.

Generation

Cherry trees in a cherry grove

Cherry trees spawn naturally only in the cherry grove biome at a density high enough to create a closed canopy, although clearings are common. 5% of cherry trees has a bee nest with 2-3 bees.

Planting

Cherry saplings can be planted on:

A cherry tree requires a 5×5 area of unobstructed space 8 blocks above its sapling to grow (9 blocks including the sapling itself). No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (a sapling planted in a hole 1 block deep can still grow). Their growth is not hindered by logs, leaves or saplings.

Based on 1000+ iterations of using a command block to replace the cherry log trunk with a sapling and spamming bone meal, the maximum dimensions of a cherry tree is 11 blocks tall, 17×17 wide, consisting of leaves that are 9×9 rounded tubes whose center is 6 blocks off of the ground, spreading north south east and west, with some hanging leaves underneath. The branches can spread as far as 5 blocks from the center trunk, however the south and west side is missing the 5th block at the 3rd layer. The trunk of the tree is always at least 2 blocks tall, with branches beginning as low as the 3rd Y layer and extending up to the 8th Y layer.

A cherry tree grown from a sapling and within 2 blocks of a flower has a 5% chance of having a bee nest containing 2–3 bees.
