All trees will eventually die and despawn. A dead tree will have its leaves change to a pattern of sparse, irregular black lines and its trunk to smoothly blended browns in vertical stripes. It will then begin despawning from the top down a layer at a time. Most objects suspended on the tree will fall to the ground as their layer despawns. Occasionally despawning leaves will drop sticks and despawning trunks will spawn wood, but this varies based on the type of tree. If a Blockhead is quick enough, they may harvest wood from a dying tree trunk, but sticks cannot be harvested from the leaves of a dying tree. | All trees will eventually die and despawn.

==Tree Genetics== | |||
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. | |||
So if you harvest the seeds/fruit from a tree that is growing faster than normal, and plant those, you're likely to get a few trees that grow even faster. And likewise with height, if a tree grows taller before it dies, the seeds from that tree will also grow taller. Or if you wanted to, you could breed dwarf trees that grow slowly and don't grow nearly as high. | |||
The difference is significant. A pine tree for example can have a max height as low as 4 blocks or as high as 27 blocks depending on that gene. And for all trees the growth rate can be 6x faster with the growth rate gene at its maximum. | |||
The all important coffee tree can grow up to 8 blocks high in the right environment with the best genetics, and obviously, the taller the tree, the more fruit it can produce. And this is without compost. In compost, the trees could grow to 1.5x those heights, making the max height for a coffee tree in compost 12 blocks tall. | |||
Every tree that is initially spawned has those genes semi-randomly assigned, but seeds you get from meditating are always exactly average. | |||
