I am trying to grow a birch tree in the area shown on the screenie but the tree disappears after using bonemeal around 3 times. No idea why this is happening. I have it on 3 dirt blocks because I thought it was initially disappearing because there was just water under the dirt block. It still disappears
Edit: The tree disappears even when I dont use bonemeal.
I can see why the sapling might not grow, but disappearing is a new one on me…
from the wiki
Birch trees require a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 6 blocks above the sapling to grow (7 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, birch trees require 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height.
From the posted pic it seems like the house (specifically the dark oak? slabs) may be too close to the tree to give the required 5x5 clearance although if the remaining upper part (not visible in pic) does not stick out beyond the orange wall, a tall enough generated tree should be able to form.

WARNING: I have an extemely "grindy" playstyle; YMMV — if this doesn't seem fun to you, mine what you can from it & bin the rest.
It's random, usually 3 or 4 but it can happen with the first bone meal or take 7 tries (there's probably no limit, larger numbers just become more and more rare.)

Good Afternoon.
I tested., and could NOT duplicate what you described.
Side note 5x Bone Meal = Full Tree in my testing
