Cherry blossom trees are found in cherry groves. Cherry blossoms have distinct pink leaves and curved branches. They also have a unique petal falling particle effect. As with oaks and birches, a cherry blossom grown near flowers can generate with a bee nest attached.

Appearance

Cherry blossoms are formed in a way bearing some similarity to acacias; they can generate with multiple canopies supported by separate branches.

Generation

Cherry blossoms spawn naturally only in the cherry grove biome.

Blocks and items

These items can be obtained from cherry:

• Stick (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
• Cherry Planks (crafted from a log in the inventory crafting grid)
• Stripped Cherry Log (created by using an axe on a log)
• Cherry Log (harvested with any tool including hands)
• Cherry Leaves (harvested with shears)
• Cherry Sapling (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
• Bee Nest (if present on a tree near flowers)

Planting

Cherry saplings can be planted on:

• Dirt
• Grass Block
• Coarse Dirt
• Podzol
• Mycelium
• Rooted Dirt
• Moss Block
• Pale Moss Block
• Farmland
• Mud
• Muddy Mangrove Roots

A cherry tree requires a 5×5 area of unobstructed space 8 blocks above its sapling to grow (9 blocks including the sapling itself). No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (a sapling planted in a hole 1 block deep can still grow). Their growth is not hindered by logs, leaves or saplings.

Based on 1000+ iterations of using a command block to replace the cherry log trunk with a sapling and spamming bone meal, the maximum dimensions of a cherry tree is 11 blocks tall, 17x17 wide, consisting of leaves that are 9x9 rounded tubes whose center is 6 blocks off of the ground, spreading north south east and west, with some hanging leaves underneath. The branches can spread as far as 5 blocks from the center trunk, however the south and west side is missing the 5th block at the 3rd layer. The trunk of the tree is always at least 2 blocks tall, with branches beginning as low as the 3rd Y layer and extending up to the 8th Y layer.

A cherry tree grown from a sapling and within 2 blocks of a flower has a 5% chance of having a bee nest containing 2–3 bees.

Trivia

• In real life, cherry blossoms are the flowers of trees in the Cerasus subgenus of the genus Prunus.
• During early development of the cherry grove biome, the developers used the pigs texture as a placeholder for the leaves.^[1]
• Developer Patrick Geuder had been planning and working on cherry blossoms for about 10 years before they were added to the game.^[2]
