The ONLY thing that matters, really, to trees growth is light. The sapling cannot be in shade, it has to have a single block or open space above it with access to sun. I know this, because I've grown a tree next to another tree doing this.
Another handy thing is to grow a tree, then knock a leaf block out of the top of it and place dirt to grow another. My forest is about 5 trees high in all places. Its seriously like walking into a jungle biome.
If you place the new tree directly above the wood of the last tree it makes it easy too. You just climb on top of the whole thing and cut straight down.
I've placed trees 2 blocks apart and they have grown. It all depends on the light level. I read somewhere that as long as theres 4 grass blocks on all sides and the light level is right then they will grow.

Yeah, I just placed saplings two blocks apart and they grew... seriously... my tree farm is like a very dense forest right now Thanks all!

I actually was able to grow a tree at bedrock with barely any light, so i don't really think light is too necessary

I've never tried doing it in complete darkness. I was mostly referring to natural growth on the surface. They seemed to think that spacing was the issue. I've grown a tree right next to another tree just by tearing all the leaves blocking the sun from it. To be fair, the real problem might have only been space vertically to grow. I hadn't considered it, as its almost too obvious and the tree grew in daytime. In looking back though....it wasn't exactly daytime either. It was turning dawn, light was rising. It probably should have occurred to me that light was less a factor than space up and down.

Yea, agreed I can grow trees under ground with only dirt, torches and some bonemeal
that spacing doesn't matter if all you are looking for is small regular sized, but to grow the monsters they need space and lots of it.
