      Are the 8 adjacent tiles empty? Like so:

      XXX
      XOX
      XXX

      O is the fruit tree

        Try this,
        Until the tree is fully grown, make sure the space around the tree is empty.

        000
        0X0
        000

        0= empty (no weeds, wood, trees, grass, etc)
        x=fruit tree

              You can't put stones or anything like that around it either, until it's fully grown.

              Once they're grown, you can put stuff in the 8 blocks around them, but not before that.

                  Ah, I think I know what the problem is.
                  Did you set out your fruit trees like this:

                  0000000
                  0X0X0X0
                  0000000

                  or like this:

                  000000000
                  0X00X00X0
                  000000000

                  X being a tree
                  0 being empty

                    Yeah, they need to be set like the LATTER. Unlike normal trees, they can't "share" their 8 empty spaces, unfortunately. =\

                      Reason for this being that when fully grown, their leaves take up the 3x3 space around the sapling. Those leaves can't overlap leaves from other trees.

                        Oh i know. It's just funny that the OTHERS don't need this as well, but eh...I'm not complaining. :rofl:

                          OMFG. I have been at my wits end with these fruit trees not growing, & it's because I surrounded them with paths?! UGH. I wasted a whole season of growing ... :(

                            Does anyone else accidentally cut down their fruit tree saplings?

                              I did and its easy to say that a groundhog day happened.

                                One important aspect to note is the 8 tiles around the sapling must be clear, unshared and untilled. Other than that, the tree growth is annoying as I had trees take almost a year to grow.

                                  You sure about the untilled part? I tilled the 8 tiles around my trees every day to keep keeps an such from showing up and they still grew. Granted, this wason my first save file on version 1.3 or something, so maybe that changed.

                                    Does anyone know if the trees will grow if their empty spot is adjacent to the farm wall? Like this:
                                    #xxx
                                    #xox
                                    #xxx

                                    With # being the wall/border of the farm, x empty spaces and o the tree.

                                    And does one space in front of the trees on the farm planner translate into something that will actually travelable?

                                      I had a problem like this, I planted 6 different fruit trees and the 3 tapper trees in this formation:
                                      X = Tress
                                      ooooooooo
                                      oxooxooxo <----- Fruit Trees
                                      ooooooooo
                                      ooooooooo
                                      oxooxooxo <----- Tapper Trees
                                      ooooooooo
                                      ooooooooo
                                      oxooxooxo <----- More Fruit Trees
                                      ooooooooo

                                      So the trees all had 8 blank spaces around them, the problem was though that none of them really grew at a normal rate. I planted an orange tree first, it's been almost two months since then and it's still growing. The acorn that I planted disappeared one day and the same went with the peach tree. So I don't know if it's just something wrong with my savefile or if there's something else. I did note though that when I planted a new peach tree in the exact spot after the surrounding trees were fully grown, it grew at the normal rate, so I assume that a tree sapling needs to grow on it's own without any other saplings to close.
