EDIT: This is an edit before you read further, because I don't have the software for my camera phone to work and because I can't find my digital camera, I will allow people to log into my world to see the trees.
So most of us know that apples somehow in the minecraft world come from the Oak tree via leaves and that they are rather uncommon to get. Well the user known as ubergine informed me of something I did not know, that there was anotherway to grow a unique Oak tree.
Minecraft Forums state that Oak Tree comes in 2 varieties: Small and Large.
In truth Oak trees come in about 5 different types:
Small: Little to no leaves, about 4 wood blocks high
Standard Tall: about 6 blocks high
Large: 1x1 block wood with branches and you can get anywhere from like 15-30 wood from it.
But what I havn't read on there is if you plant the saplings like you would a Jungle tree you can get:
Super Large: 2x1+1 trunk and can be 2 or more Large trees in one
Massive: 2x2 trunk about 4 Large trees in one.
So a Super Large and Massive would give you the most wood and leaves as well as chance of apples in the smallest amount of space. To plant them you would need to put between 2 to 4 saplings together. Don't be suprised if 1 sapling grows and turns into a small or standard tree, give it time and they will grow together to get a Super Large or Massive. They litterly need to be placed together to count as one entity and not a few blocks apart. I let it grow without using bonemeal, I save that for mushrooms.
Cutting down 2 Super Large and 1 Massive within 20 blocks of each other, I managed to get around 20 apples before my boyfriend opened my xbox tray with skyrim and it automatically exited out of my minecraft before I could save.
I thought this was the best way to get as much wood in as little of time as possible? It's how I built my tree farm. It'd take ag ood 20 minutes to cut down fully, but I'd get plenty of stacks of wood. I did this before apples were added, so it's not new.
How are you"supposed" to build a wood farm?

I need to give out more reputation. I'm not used to the system, but I see so many helpful posts. D: Sorry if I forget you!

Jungle trees are not in the game yet, therefore, no super large or massive trees.
They aren't in game yet. Like I said I prefer to read the Wiki. Apparently Jungle trees aren't the only tree to have a 2x2 trunk, Oak trees can to if you plant 4 of them in a 2 by 2 square.
Just checked the wiki, it says there are four types of oak trees,
1. Small oak-resembles birch
2. Large oak-1x1 trunk, about 10 blocks or taller
3. Swamp trees-found in swamps
4. Bush trees-found in jungles and resemble a bush

Nothing about a massive oak tree.
Plant 4 saplings together, allow them to grow to a 2 by 2 trunk. I call that massive tree because they are a stack and a half of wood each and I planted 4 of them nearby so it looked like I had one giant tree which gave me 3 and half stacks of wood since two of them only grew to 2 by 1 trunk. I just call the 2 by 2 trunk massive, though a 2 by 2 jungle tree is sure to be known as Ginormous.
She's not saying that there are 'massive' trees . . . that grow normally. She is saying that you can get massive trees by planting 4 toghether . . . . I get ya.
I always wanted to do an apple/sapling farm where pistons would push wood(only for normal generated trees) far enough from the leaves that it would decay and the user can mine the wood and collect apples and plant saplings.
But I'm not a redstone expert. I'm still at the stage where "the only redstone knowledge I have is that butons can open doors."
Emeralddigger, Spruce trees don't produce apples but it would be funny if they produced syrup.
XBOX_User, I have never heard of an automated tree farm with pistons and the like but then again i'm also bad with figuring out redstoning and need to make multiple guesses and educated guesses.
Drifts115, it only seems to work with Oak Saplings planted next to each other when they are all saplings and also very wide spaced appart with good clear air block space not blocked off by something.
I actually tried this, and granted I did it in a forest so there might not have been enough room, but I wasn't able to get the 2x2, but I did manage to get a 2x1 and 2 ungrown saplings next to it (I just planted them and walked away and checked later, I didn't use bone meal)

Sometimes not all the saplings will grow, I think it has something to do with the first sapling that matures into a tree. It's very random.
Yes it depends on the tree that grows from the first sapling and honestly wouldnt that be *less* likely to spawn an apple, they are sharing canopy, surely to increase the amount of apples you want as MUCH canopy space as possible

Actually Apples have a small percent chance to drop from leaves. The massive trees which are 2x2 trunk have about 2 stacks of leaves for a canopy before you hit the first 'branch' of wood. Today I went from about 25 apples to well over 80, most of it came in the 2 hours I spent chopping down and replanting these trees and make 2 stacks of 64 each for 8 ovens. In other words I did 16 stacks of 64 charcoal and smelted alot of cobblestone and now I have several double chests full of stone and stone brick So I say it significantly increases the chance of obtaining apples. Sometimes, for one massive tree I get about 10 apples.
This. I tried to grow a 2x2 oak awhile ago to make a tree house and could not do it, ended up just laying the framework in wood and filling it in with leaf blocks after the update that added leaf clippings from shears. Haven't tried it since then, but I remember being very frustrated because I couldn't get this to work. I would like to know that this is possible now, and not just a glitch.

Planting trees right beside each other results in less leaves, which results in less apples, it would be better to space them apart.

This is for 1 version of an automatic treefarm, I have build a pretty complicated one on xbox in creative that is pretty nice but the simpler ones generally work better/faster.
