Learn the basics of tree-planting in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH). Learn how close you can plant trees and how long it takes for them to grow.
List of Contents
For a tree to fully grow, it needs 1 free space in all directions. If there are cliffs, water, or buildings in those spaces, the tree will not grow.
It is also important to note that flowers and bushes do not "take up space," so it is safe to plant tree saplings next to them.
With this said, trees can be planted next to each other, given that they are at least 1 space apart. This goes for any direction. To check, you should be able to walk past between trees.
If you make a mistake, you can always move trees with your shovel.
You can purchase saplings from Nook's Cranny, or sometimes you would find ones in the Recycle Box at Resident Services.
Choose a spot with enough space, and open up your pockets to plant the sapling.
With your shovel in-hand, you can also use it to dig a hole where you want the tree to be, and plant the sapling using the shovel.
| Nursery Tree | Small Young Tree | Medium Young Tree | Large Young Tree | Fully-Grown Tree |

The stages are the same for any kind of tree, including bamboo.
Once planting a sapling, it will take 5 days for it to grow (and to bear fruit if it is a fruit tree, or Bells if it is a Money Tree).
To move a tree, you will need to have 1 point of stamina, which you can get from eating a piece of fruit, turnip, or any other kind of food.
While holding a shovel, press A in front of a tree to pull it up and place it in your pockets. You can then replant the tree.
As long as the tree has not fully grown, you can move small trees even without stamina. This goes the same for shrubs and flowers.
Yeah, this information is wrong. To fully grown a tree you need at least two spaces from each other. You can move them closer AFTER they are fully grown, but not while growing. Also, there's one more final step of a tree's life before she of fully grown and bearing fruits.
