Bonemeal does not grow tree saplings into trees
When I sprout the mud, then when the tree grows, it remains dirt instead of logs.

rplatham edit: The original bug report and pictures below refer to MCPE-8094, but the other bug (the one in the title) is the one I have been testing. Basically, bonemeal doesn't work on tree saplings. I've tested in a new pure survival world and in new creative converted to survival worlds.

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 5.1.1, MCPE 0.14.0 build 4.
To test, I created a new creative flat world, put different tree sapplings and bonemeal into a chest, quit, converted to survival and tried planting and applying bonemeal to saplings and 2x2 sapling groups. I planted them on bare dirt and on grass. None of them grew into trees. I saw the green sparkling particles, but nothing else. I expected trees to grow.
Plant an oak sprout. Then sprout over the place 2 blocks of dirt. Then tap bone flour. Instead of logs is the same dirt.
Turns out I found 2 bug
Yes, thank you. I had interpreted your description slightly wrong. Both are bugs. The bug of having the dirt replace the tree blocks is known. See
MCPE-8094.I can't confirm that.
If I try this with the dirt above the sapling, the generate tree remove the dirt ( looks normal)
I can grow up trees with bone meal in creative, Survival.
I have reproduce the steps from Russel, and the thing from the pictures... I got always nice littel and big trees I think I have a green thumb.
Version 0.14.0 build 5
