In addition, mature trees (including stumps) on the farm have a 15% chance each night of trying to spontaneously plant one seed in the ground.<ref name="treeDropSeed" />  One tile is randomly chosen, up to 3 tiles away from the parent tree in any direction.  The seed becomes "planted", creating a new stage 1 tree, only if the tile is a valid location for a new tree. In particular, the chosen tile must be empty; trees will not destroy paths or crops.

Planted seeds grow through four stages before reaching maturity.  Tree seeds do not require watering, nor do they require the surrounding land to be empty (unlike [[Fruit Trees]]): the land can be fully paved; trees can planted next to water or other features.  As long as the seed can be placed in the ground, it can grow.  The only limitation on tree seedling growth is that two mature trees cannot be side by side: a seedling will never grow past stage 4 if there is a mature tree in any of its eight adjacent tiles.

With [[Tree Fertilizer]], trees will grow one stage every night, except at stage 4, which takes two days.  In total, a fertilized seed takes five days to reach maturity.  Fertilized seeds and seedlings will grow even in [[Winter]]; otherwise, trees do not grow at all in winter.
