Tree refusing to grow

I have this one stupid tree that is refusing to grow. All other trees planted at the same time have grown fine. I have checked over 1 1/2 seasons making sure nothing is around the sapling and it refuses to grow any more than this. My OCD prevents me from tapping the trees for syrup, pine tar etc. until all 6 are grown so I can harvest at the same time. Pls help?

 

just chop it down and plant a new one hehe

 

Okay, if it happens again I will kill a kitten.

 

or you can upload your save file and I'm gonna make it grow haha
oh can't really do that not a coding dude whatsoever but gorillas like trees no?

 

It's okay, I replanted it. I hope it was just a fluke. Thanks.

 

I have this same issue frequently and it drives me insane as well x.x

 

AFAIK, only fruit trees have the distance requirement, I say that cuz I have a wild forest of maples and oaks and... pines growing all nilly willy around my house, heck I cant even find the dog anymore! but yeah, I ve found the odd tree or pine that wont get past sapling stage, wonder what actually happens

 

It really feels random, whether the non-fruit trees on your farm will grow or not.
(I doubt it's actually random, but I can't be bothered to get to the bottom of that mystery.)

If you're truly desperate, you can open up your save file and change the tree's <growthStage> to 6. That'll make it full-grown.
Though finding the right tree will be tricky if you have dozens of them on your farm.

 

I'm having the same problem with these two buggers here.
They don't want to grow at all and it's driving me insane! Will replacing them with different ones actually work?

Basically sap trees (maple, pine, oak) do have a distance requirements/restrictions (albeit different to fruit trees) and also update randomly (and unlike fruit trees have no defined growth period).

 

Ah. So I just leave it there and wait and see. Thank you.
