Rainfall and making trees grow

[yosomith 3]

Alright, so I want to make some trees grow in a low rainfall area (125) there is a higher rainfall area of 4000 close by but I was wondering if it's possible to do it in the low rainfall area?

Like maybe adding in some water or ponds or things or what?

Yeah, about your question of yours... I have no idea at all what are you attempting to achieve...

[yosomith 3]

What I am attempting is to get trees to grow in a place where normally they wont.

The particular tree is a Hickory, I know they grow in a rainfall area of 4000 but I want to grow them in the rainfall area of 125, if it's not possible then fine but if it is I'd like to know how.

Try to test your theory in your test world. That's all I could think of.

Hypothesis, SDA, Hypothesis. Not theory, Hypothesis.

I think this:

Why did you open this spoiler? It was only to show you what I thought! Close it!!!!!

ok testing reveals that yes, take a hickory tree into a low rainfall area and it doesn't grow, however if you add some water in the area via a bucket like I did the tree will grow

Take in count trees take 7 days to grow when you plant 'em, regardless of where

EDIT: in fatc, different trees take different times ._:

A minimum of 7 days.

yes that has been taken into account since the original trees had been sitting there for years of time (one year = 24 hours irl) and no growth over about a weeks worth of playing irl.

As soon as water was introduced trees started coming up only where the water was (visual representation of area with water from dry grass) after only a few hours of playing.

Since then I have removed the water and redid my tree area with pools of water making the area nice and green with lots of growing trees.

Aw, do you have any pictures of how you added water to make the tress grow? I would imagine dumping water next to sapling makes it pop up, or no? This is very interesting, pictures if you can!

Edit: Yay it worked

This is what I was talking about dry grass vs nice grass

this is my overall tree farm

This is an upclose view of how I did the water and trees

This is an alternate shot of the above

I probably could have gotten away with less water spots then I have used as they do have a range to how much a water hole will hydrate but I like things nice and even and I was going for a more compact area for my tree farm.

I do have a goal where I will turn all the dry grass within a certain range of my home to the nicer hydrated grass.

Wow I didn't know trees would grow so close to one another...

[yosomith 3]

Well some will but other wont, I got lucky with the Hickories but I imagine something else, say the Willow tree will not

I can imagine a whole forest full of trees spaced that far apart would be nice
