Let us grow taller trees

[Sengorn_Leopard]

The current idea of planting 4 tree in the air and building the trunk when they grow results in very ugly artificial trees. I love large pines, but if anyone came near my base and chopped it down for wood, the damage is done. I can't replant it. I would love to see a mechanic to grow larger trees, or let us obtain the leaf block item to build completely custom trees.

If you don't mind mods, then Necessaries allows you to make branch cutters for collecting leaves

Lands of Chaos, a new mod that is in alpha phase, enables you to configure larger trees.

I have it set to trees that are 25% larger and it looks fantastic, and with no lag unless you set the default cave size modifiers too high.

It would be nice if growing trees had its own minigame associated with it, like how crops have their own system.

You mean like if they grew under conditions ( right soil/nutrients/lighting/shade etc. ) best suited for the tree type, you could have a chance to grow taller trees than default sizes?

That would be fun. One could cultivate a forest of trees larger than you'd otherwise find, or try to grow something special in a desired location.

And on that note:  Allow trees to be planted in small clay pots and buckets or large clay pots or barrels and grow small to medium sized bonsai versions of trees.That would make for some fun ornamental gardening features.

You can already plant saplings in flower pots and planters for two sizes of bonsais.

Ah, nice. Tells you how many trees I’ve seen planted in pots or planters so far.

I wish I could use such a mod! Sadly I play exclusively on a multiplayer server, and i think it would be easier to get a change in the vanilla gameplay then have a mod added  
I like the idea of taller trees requiring better growing conditions, perhaps planting them atop terra?

I need mod like this
