Forestry applies genetics to trees the same way it does to [[Bee]]s. Vanilla tree saplings need to be analyzed with the Field Kit, [[Scanner]] (GT) or Treealyzer, or collected from fertilized leaf blocks with a Grafter or Branch Cutter. Lumberjack [[Villager]]s also can have a single trade for a random Forestry sapling of any type, and chests in Forestry village houses can have random saplings. Any type of [[Bee]] with the Flower: Flowers trait can pollinate trees inside it's Territory x3 (default Average is 9x9 footprint, six blocks tall, so 27x27x18 for tree pollination.) Butterflies can also pollinate trees and will spawn naturally from Forestry-analyzed trees, but are much slower and less predictable at the job than bees. |

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

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. |
