Trees and tree seeds carry two genetic traits, growth rate and maximum height. Every time a tree naturally reproduces or creates a seed, it passes on those traits, but with a slight random variation. | Trees and tree seeds carry two genetic traits, growth rate and maximum height.

If seeds/fruit are harvested from a tree that is growing faster than normal, and planted, some of them are likely to grow a few trees that grow even faster. Similarly with height, if a tree grows taller before it dies, the seeds from that tree will also grow taller. If wanted, you could breed "dwarf trees" that grow slowly and don't grow nearly as high. | If seeds/fruit are harvested from a tree that is growing faster than normal, and planted, some of them are likely to grow a few trees that grow even faster.

The difference can be significant. A [[Pine Tree|pine tree]], for example can have a max height as low as 4 blocks or as high as 27 blocks depending on that gene. For all trees the growth rate can be 6x faster with the growth rate gene at its maximum. | The difference can be significant.
