Jungle trees are trees native to the jungle biomes. Jungle trees range from short bushes to tall trees that reach up to 31 blocks in height. Their wood is of a pale brownish color.
Appearance
Jungle trees come in several different variants with different properties:
- Regular jungle trees are short, lack branches, and have a 1×1 trunk, which can extend up to 10 blocks tall. Only the top of the trunk is covered in leaves.
- All naturally generating jungle trees are covered in vines, both on their trunk and exposed leaves. Cocoa pods occasionally generate on the sides.
- All jungle trees grown from saplings are not covered in vines and cocoa pods, but they can grow as tree with vines in Bedrock Edition.
- Mega jungle trees grow branches (logs connected horizontally, vertically or diagonally to the trunk or other branches). Most of the time, a single tree has between one and six branches, and each branch has between one and six logs. The trunk covers a 2×2 space on the ground.
Fallen jungle trees
Fallen jungle trees replace regular jungle trees in any biome where they can generate (meaning that they do not generate in bamboo jungles).
A fallen jungle tree may consist of a single upright log, or a stump. Logs lying on their side are often found 1–2 blocks from the stump. They occasionally have mushrooms on top.
A fallen jungle tree has a log length of 4–11 blocks. Vines cover 75% of the stump.
Jungle trees with vines
Some undecorated jungle trees may be covered with vines on all exposed logs; undecorated jungle trees can only be grown with saplings.
Generation

The jungle tree variants generate naturally in the indicated biomes, ordered in density:

A large jungle tree always generates with dirt under its trunk, even if it spawns partly or wholly over air or water blocks.
Planting
Jungle tree saplings can be planted on:
Dirt
Grass Block
Coarse Dirt
Podzol
Mycelium
Rooted Dirt
Moss Block
Pale Moss Block
Farmland
Mud
Muddy Mangrove Roots

When planted in grass or dirt, a jungle sapling grows into a jungle tree with a 1×1 trunk, but the player can place saplings in a 2×2 formation and they grow into a jungle tree with the 2×2 trunk found naturally in the jungle biome.
1×1 jungle trees require a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 5 blocks above the sapling to grow (6 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, 1×1 jungle trees require 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height. No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (a sapling planted in a hole 1 block deep still grows).
In order to grow a 2×2 jungle tree, four saplings must be placed adjacent to each other in a square. For growth to succeed, there must be no blocks adjacent (even diagonally) to the north-western side up to the final height of the tree. Bone meal can be used on any of the saplings to accelerate growth.
2×2 jungle trees require a 5×5 column of unobstructed space at least 11 blocks above the saplings to grow (12 blocks including the saplings themselves). This column is centered on the northwestern sapling. A 3×3 area is required at the base of the tree (the level of the saplings). They can grow up to 32 blocks high.
If planted by the player, 1×1 jungle trees do not generate with vines, while 2×2 jungle trees do. 2×2 jungle trees cannot grow side by side because the vines break the space clearance requirement.
