Trees appear naturally in the world and from saplings. Unlike other plants, saplings grow, at some point in time, instantly into a full-size tree.

There are several species of trees. This page lists the trees currently found in Minetest Game 0.4.15.

Regular trees

Those trees grow randomly in the world and from saplings (75% chance). Their trunk usually consist of 4 or 5 tree blocks and many leaves. Regular trees appear map generators and are very common. The trunk of regular trees are slightly differently shaped depending on the map generator being used. In v6, it grows straight upwards, while in the other map generators, the trunk may branch.

Apple trees

Apple trees are a variant of regular trees which also grow randomly in the world and also grow from regular saplings (25% chance). They are identical to regular trees in shape, wood and leaves, but they also carry a few apples as well.

Jungle trees

Jungle trees grow from jungle saplings are only found naturally in jungles. The trunk consists of jungle tree blocks amd jungle leaves and usually has 9-13 jungle tree blocks in height. On a flat floor, up to additional 8 jungle tree blocks can appear around the trunk. This makes jungle trees excellent for farming a lot of tree trunk blocks.

Pine trees

Pine trees appear naturally in taiga biomes. Pine trees may be covered in snow. In the map generator v6, this is always the case. They can grow up to 13 nodes high. They are made of pine tree blocks and pine needles. Pine saplings grow into pine trees. which will be again be covered in snow if the sapling was next to dirt with snow, snow or snow block.

Acacia trees

Acacia trees grow in savannah biomea and grow from acacia saplings. Acacia trees do not natually appear in the v6 map generator, because there are no savannahs in v6.

They are made of 12-13 acacia tree blocks and about 75 acacia leaves. Acacia trees consist of a main vertical trunk which is 4 or 5 acacia tree block tall, and 4 branches of 2 acacia tree blocks each.

Aspen trees

Aspen trees grow in deciduous forests and grow from aspen saplings. Aspen trees do not naturally appear in the v6 map generator. They are made of aspen tree blocks and aspen leaves.
