    Honestly I can't figure out what I did wrong here, practically tried everything I can think of...even watered the surrounding 8 tiles for a bit. But nothing.

    Here's how I planted first two trees, the rest are just same below these two. They are just under the road to town in front of the house.
    oooooo
    oxooxo
    oooooo

    Can somebody please tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

      It might also be possible that if they are too close to the little pre-made path it's disrupting their growth. I think the safest thing is to do exactly as Ancev said, just make sure there is absolutely nothing around them, even paths.

        Thanks guys, though only one of the trees is near the path, but none of them is growing at the moment...I'll go check for acorns & stuff

          My trees took way longer than 28 days to grow. If it hasn't grown in a full year though it seems like something isn't right.

            Did you till the earth around them? I think that stops them from growing

              OMG I think you're right! I pickaxed the tilled ground around the trees and they started to grow! Thank you!

                  Oh! I didn't know this either! I placed paths in the ground all around the trees because I wanted to make a pretty, stone lined path but the trees haven't grown at all. I just thought they were growing slowly but the sprites haven't changed since I planted them. Thanks for this!

                  Question: After the tree is fully grown, can you then place path-tiles around the base of the tree? Will this stop fruit from growing?

                    After they are fully grown, they are fine. You can put paths around them safely.

                      Thank you! Now I feel so dumb ... I've had them for so long! I'll just wait and watch them grow ... but I'm sad I'll not have spring fruit before my 3rd year :(
