How to grow a Dark Oak Tree in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to grow a Dark Oak tree with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to grow a Dark Oak tree:
Steps to Grow a Dark Oak Tree
1. Plant 4 Dark Oak Saplings
Select the dark oak saplings in your hotbar and then plant each of the dark oak saplings one at a time.
The dark oak saplings should be planted right next to each other to make a square shape. The game control to plant these saplings depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
- For Education Edition, right click on the block.
You should now see your dark oak saplings appear on the ground (in the pattern as shown above).
2. Fertilize the Dark Oak Saplings
Next, select the bone meal in your hotbar and then use the bone meal any of the dark oak saplings.
The game control to use the bone meal depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the dark oak saplings.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the dark oak saplings.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the dark oak saplings.
- For Education Edition, right click on the dark oak saplings.
Each time you use a bone meal, you will see green particle effects appear. It will take more than one bone meal to turn the dark oak saplings into a Dark Oak tree, so keep using bone meal until the tree appears.
