Line 8:

Forestry saplings can be bonemealed and force-grown just like their vanilla counterparts.

==~~Fertilized~~ Leaves==

==Pollinated Leaves==

To cross-pollinate successfully, two or more ~~Forestry~~ ~~analyzed~~ or vanilla trees need to be mature and ~~close enough together that they are both~~ within a bee's Territory, accessible by butterflies, or hand-pollinated with fertile pollen. This creates a leaf block with a slightly different texture that when broken will drop either a hybrid between the two parents or a new mutation if any exists between the crossed tree types. Chance of successful mutation varies by species, just like bees.

Spectacles should be worn to make ~~fertilized~~ leaves more obvious. Even with ~~spectacles~~, certain leaf textures are quite difficult to distinguish, particularly spruce. Tree pollination is slow, and can affect any leaf block, not just those that are visible on the outside surface of the tree's canopy. The easiest option is to set up a small group of auto-cycling apiaries with the best Pollination speed available in the middle of a small circle of the trees.

[[Waila]] will have an extra line when looking at pollinated tree leaves, saying what the other parent species is.
