Planting new trees

[theburger2012]

I’ve grown the new saplings from the seeds, how do I plant them now?

[tamu1997]

you dont. your forester does it

Does the forester only plant tree where old ones have been? I have a huge empty field ready for loads of trees but no the guy keeps walking all the way up the hill to plant them next to my town

My problem is I have way too many saplings. I want to turn off Sapling production but keep planting. If I put the priorities for the trees to 0 and keep the building priority on does that work?

That is my current understanding. You're not sowing new forests, you're replenishing old ones.

"Forestry introduces a building where you can grow saplings and use them to replant nearby forests"

Thank you, i must of missed that part, Looks like i have a forest to tear down and lumbermill and forester to replace

Oh ffs, what a major letdown... I would love to plant my own trees :I

I don't think I've ever been so happy to see trees regrown in a game before.

I've set multiple farmers to priority 1 for farming and disabled my farms, but the deliverers or farmers keep taking the saplings and storing them in my barns. I have 80 saplings, they aren't planting it at all.

For the moment, tree replanting is out of necessity so your city doesn't quickly become a treeless wasteland. There may be some options for more "cosmetic" trees in a future update when more aesthetic options are introduced.

So... confused. "Replanting/replenishing" forests... how do "stumps" in the old forests affect this? Will a new tree grow in an old stump's place? Will removing the stump free the space for the forest replanting?

I have only dug up a few stumps but what I noticed is that it seems they only replant the exact trees you cut down. I do not think that stumps do anything for that process. Like I said I only dug up a few though and my forestry building as far as I can tell did not plant a tree in their place but they replace the mature trees that my people have cut down.
