In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to grow a tree:
Steps to Grow a Tree
1. Plant the Sapling
Once you have a sapling to plant, add it to your hotbar and make it the selected item in your hotbar.
Next, position your pointer (the plus sign) on the block where you want to plant the tree. You should see the block become highlighted in your game window.
The game control to plant the tree 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 sapling appear on the ground. Now at this point, you have two choices. You can either wait and let your tree grow into a full-grown tree naturally or you can speed up the growing process using bone meal.
2. Fertilize the Sapling
To speed up the growing process with bone meal, select bone meal in your hotbar and then use the bone meal on your sapling.
The game control to use the bone meal depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the sapling.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the sapling.
- 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 sapling.
- For Education Edition, right click on the sapling.
It may take a few bone meals before you see your tree shoot up to a full-grown tree.
