Giant Jungle Tree after 1.5

The problem: giant jungle trees don't seem to grow anymore after the bonemeal nerf. I used a few bonemeal stacks to make 4 saplings grow, first using it in one sapling and then using it in all of them, but it didn't work.

It's not a big issue, just another little thing to add to the list

Going to have to go back to waiting for them to grow...
*Sigh*

Didn't think of allowing them to grow on their own, I'll try that, thanks.

Does anyone know of the logic behind the new bone meal nerf? I can't wrap my head around it.

Instead of fully growing a plant instantly, it grows it 1-3 stages.

Doesn't wheat take 7 stages?

I'd be so happy if this turns out to be a bug and bonemeal is its usual way.

That stinks.

When i used bonemeal on wheat it took only 1-3 stages usually sometimes 4 stages but that was the farthest stage I got.

this bonemeal issue is driving me nuts.. it is indeed on my single player game, i was so frustrated that it just... sparkles, and never grows. >.< hopefully it shall be fixed soon.

I do like the sparkles though.

This is If your tree has noting near it.

For Tree machines or tree farms, I have commonly had to use 12 or more bonemeal to get 1 sapling to grow .
