→Common Trees: expand a little
Stardew Valley author Concerned Ape [https://twitter.com/ConcernedApe/status/711010819861970944 has confirmed on Twitter] that trees do not regrow from a stump, contrary to a common belief. Thus, it is generally useful to clear the land of a stump to make it available for any planting, which also requires new seed. Alternatively, it may be useful to chop down trees growing outside [[The Farm]] but leave the stumps intact if foraging or searching for [[Artifact Spot]]s, so that a large area can be seen at a glance without the need to walk behind each tree.

For maximum growth, common tree seeds are best planted in the center of a clear 3x3 grid. If other objects occupy this grid, the tree may not grow. If a fully grown tree is adjacent to a seed/sapling, the seed/sapling will not grow beyond a sapling. During the winter season, seeds do not sprout and there is no tree growth. A properly planted seed has approximately a 20% chance of growing to the next stage each day during [[Spring]], [[Summer]], or [[Fall]], or in the [[Greenhouse]]. Mathematically, this implies that the chances are about even that a tree will grow one stage within three days, meaning that the median growth time to maturity is about 12 days. Actual growth times can vary considerably.

Actual growth times can vary considerably, from a minimum of four days, and up to an unlimited number of days.
Once a tree is fully grown, its surrounding area can be paved without ill effects, although the paving will prevent the tree from dropping seeds.
