Why not remove the saplings falling from leaves? Instead, make a new block called "tree roots". When using a tool to dig it up, each block would drop 1 dirt and 1 sapling. Alternatively, you can cut the tree down to the stump and roots. Leaving it alone causes the tree to grow back. I'd make the dirt-with-roots block more difficult to clear away as well.

Why cant acorns just fall out of the tree that we can plant?

I've thought about roots... but didn't know how to make them practical. This would work... although it makes less sense.
