Not too long.

Some in-game days are required. I'm not sure the *exact* trigger, but some things I've done on Multi and singleplayer:
1) sleep from time to time.
2) leave the area completely - includes all players. the area that you want to respawn needs to be entirely out of your 'render area'. This might include entering a cave or areas inside of a cave.
3) don't destroy the stumps

They do respawn though, it was pretty handy. I was reading a bit about it and I'm not sure but a server reset might do it as well - or there could be an admin command.

is this without doing that weird regrowth mode thing that I read about? cause, honestly a seperate mode in order to have trees regrow, sounds pretty dumb to me. :/

There's an option you can enable in settings that lets trees regrow. It used to be a separate mode.

10% of the stumps from chopped trees will regrow each time you sleep. If you remove the stump the tree will not regrow.

do I have to start a new game? or if I enable it will it work for my current saved games?

You can enable and disable it as you please, no need to make a new game :)

Do you still just type in "regrowmode" at the main screen? It's kinda hard to find info on this.

Nope, found it. It's under gameplay options.

so if you destroy the stump do trees never grow back then?

I believe so. I think that was added in so that you could clear out an area for your home.

Destroying the stump with the chainsaw stops the tree from regrowing. It takes about a full week to watch the trees regrow.
