MCPE-166948Grass and Plants prevent trees from growing
Trees are not growing (does not matter if its oak birch or whatever)
The problem occurs when there’s grass and flowers next to a sapling which prevents the sapling to grow (does not grow with stacks of bonemeal either)
How to reproduce:
- Place a sapling (any kind) on a flat surface where it could grow normally.
- Use bonemeal to grow grass and flowers next to the placed sapling.
- Now try to grow the sapling.
Expectations:
A beautiful tree grows out of a sapling with no problem.
Reality:
Trees are being prevented from growing just because of a 2-3 block radius of grass and flowers?
Edit:
I tested it on java and it works but why not in bedrock? I mean short grass or flowers can’t and shouldn’t prevent a sapling from growing. But it somehow doesn’t grow in bedrock

This is a duplicate of MCPE-166948
Currently, there's also a bug that prevents 2x2 spruce and jungle saplings from growing whenever they're planted adjacent to a block in the north or west positions, see MCPE-188271
The underlying issue for most of the cases here is that any block placed diagonally above any sapling will prevent it from growing, see MC-228758. This is technically an issue with every kind of tree in the game, but Mojang have decided that the behavior is only unintentional when it comes to azaela trees for some reason (MCPE-166948). I have requested that they review that report in hopes that they change the resolution, as fixing this solely for the azalea would create further disparity, not only with Java, but Bedrock itself.
