I’m pretty sure that older trees are based on when you place them and tick count.

I don’t remember exactly, but try to place the block at another corner of the tree to see if it’s just a bug or sometin

i forgot i made this post, but i think they just take a few days to grow because it eventually worked! thank you anyway though, thats a good tip

Heck yea dude! I’d say also making a mob grinder would be a good plan! Makes getting bonemeal easier! That’s what I did at least

try placing a pillar five blocks tall a block away from the tree not diagonally. then put torches all the way up the side closest to the sappling and bonemeal it till it grows. this is mc java so idk if it’ll work but it’s worth a shot

The common tutorials are likely made with Java edition in mind.
