Description

Pale Oak Sapling is a non-craftable plant that grows into a pale oak tree, introduced with the Pale Garden biome in Minecraft 1.21.4. You obtain it as a rare drop when Pale Oak Leaves break or decay, so harvesting the eerie pale-white canopy of the Pale Garden is the only natural way to collect saplings. Plant it on dirt, grass block, or podzol and give it open space above and around it, and it will sprout into a large pale oak tree with pale logs and grayish-white leaves. Apply bone meal to speed up the growth if there is enough room, just like other oak saplings. You can also drop the sapling into a flower pot to display it as a small decoration indoors. It works in both Java and Bedrock Edition.

How to get and grow a Pale Oak Sapling in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Find the Pale Garden

    Explore the Pale Garden biome added in 1.21.4, where pale oak trees grow with grayish-white leaves.

  2. 2

    Harvest the leaves

    Break Pale Oak Leaves with any tool or let them decay; each block has a small chance to drop a sapling.

  3. 3

    Plant the sapling

    Place it on dirt, a grass block, or podzol with open space above and around it.

  4. 4

    Speed up growth

    Apply bone meal to the sapling to grow the pale oak tree faster when it has enough room.

  5. 5

    Decorate with it

    Right-click the sapling into a flower pot to display it as a small indoor decoration.

Give the tree room

A pale oak grows tall and wide, so clear blocks above and beside the sapling or bone meal will fail to make it grow.
