Tree farm height
I tested a tree farm with a height of 6. This always grows trees with a trunk 4 blocks high and leaves above. Very easy to harvest, but might get less saplings... TobiX 12:24, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, i can confirm this too. When i play in SMP, i collect a bunch of saplings and replant the trees. After that, i make an underground tree farm. They grow in 1x1x6 tubes. You get 4 blocks of wood, and 2 leaves. You sometimes get more saplings, but its rare. --Zkyo 13:12, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I tested a height of 7, which gives you more leaves and irregular tree height, but still no branches, as far as I can see. Maybe this should be suggested as "optimal height"? TobiX 13:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Fire
Do torches now light tree leaves on fire? I've had mysterious fires at my underground tree farm?? Lloydh40
 * Possible explanations include fire 2 blocks away (fire can jump one block to wood), lava one block away (lava can sometimes light wood diagonally adjacent to it [south west rule], even if the lava is completely sealed off), or griefers. Novatastic 20:25, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
