Acacias don't grow in jungles?[]
I think I've discovered that acacia trees (planted as saplings) do not grow in jungle biome, regardless of the other qualifications.
Can anybody else confirm this (before I add it to the text)?

- I just tried it in Bedrock Edition 1.18. Planted a sapling, put some bone meal on it, and boom! I got a large acacia. If you add it, it's a java-only thing. Amatulic (talk) 04:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- I left two saplings planted for months (in-game), and they never grew. So I tried the bone meal trick, giving one of them 20 bone meal, but still no growth. So, I added a note.
- I wonder if there are any other types of trees that won't grow in certain biomes. Oh well, that's a different project. SirDaddicus (talk) 18:56, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Horizontal space requirements?[]
I think this may be wrong: "An acacia tree requires a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 6 blocks above the sapling (7 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, the tree requires 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height"
I'm trying to grow an acacia sapling with bonemeal and it seems like it won't grow if there are blocks within a 5x5 area even at the y-level one above the sapling. This matches with what I see on Sapling which just says it needs a 5x5 column.
Take this with a grain of salt b/c I'm testing on a modded 1.16.5 installation right now. Greenpepperpasta (talk) 00:51, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
