Damn, you beat me to it. I woke up today, thinking "this is the day I'm going to post up how awesome birch trees are compared to the rest", but you got it first.
Now that I think about it, what happened to apples? I haven't seen any apples drop at all from trees. That would be the main reason for using normal trees, that you had a chance of getting an apple.
For whatever reason, they're still dungeon exclusive.
You make a great case for Birch Tree farming! Thank you for the post. :smile.gif:
I've seen some people here asking for information on space clearances needed for various tree types. Well, it just so happens that I made a nice little Informational post on Tree farming requirements and methods for growing all three types of saplings a little while ago which might be of use.
I hope my post at that link helps to answer any remain questions you may have after reading Kastrel's most excellent Instructional Case for Birch. :smile.gif:
Above ground, if you need any blocks for space filling, like a ground leveling project, I find birch to also be the best in terms of farming... Birch trees are the only ones which never suffocate you if you bonemeal them :smile.gif:
Well done.
