Mine all have :/
I'm so glad I backed up my HCB world, cause I planted one above ground in the middle of my town, and 1 in the nether just outside my base >.< It was nasty...
And you can't burn them fast enough.
I tried that, but they kept replanting, and it doesn't burn everything, so even if you miss 1 piece of wood, it will all come back o.o
It's worse than portulaca!
lolol

As mentioned, burning the trees makes them drop saplings, that replant themselves, so if you burn one, multiple new ones take its place :)
It's genious
Genious, sadistic, evil. Definately a FlowerChild invention :) I love 'em.
Screw stupid "nether trees" that are just regular trees that grow in the nether. Nope! We need a tree of souls that spreads across the nether like a plague! Sounds like people are beginning to get my reference on my screenshot post earlier. "Dear God, what have I done?!"

Try making a normal, non automated tree farm (where you plant saplings in a large area in a lot of rows. Then walk away for several hours.
It's disgustingly entertaining to come back to, even though it sucks :P

Ninja's: Oh yes you can, It is called FIRE! just be weary if a sapling lands on a soul sand block it plants and it will grow after about a few minutes. Also I think i finally figured out the special thing FC been talking about.
The tree has a soul, it Gives you a very powerful gift an over abundance of soul dust for the help in making soul urns, as well as automating tree farming. But this gift comes at a very noticeable price.
You have to work with it, learn to control and contain it, it like a weed fire wont stop it and you can have serious issue if you don't contain it. It will over run you and there a lot of work involved in containing it. The Fun part of the tree isn't in ways of automating the farming aspect, but automating the "pruning and reproducing" if you think of it that way.
My idea is setting up a timer that set of several hibachi around the tree with a floor of soul sand. The biggest issue is cutting down all the logs then having to burn the leaves so you can plant more. Bravo FC you really have added something that going to prove to be a lot of fun trying to automate.

You know what's really awkward though? You can automate it with the wall of saws. No complex wiring, no fun with pistons, just a 3x7 wall of saws. Maybe make it a touch wider for more saplings. And any other method I can think of runs the risk of it overrunning everything if you go afk for too long.

That's entirely intentional. Going back to Battosay's original suggestion, this thing *is* very easy to automate as it doesn't suffer any of the awkward problems associated with the other MC trees in terms of not being able to easily grow in a confined space. This thing will happily grow just about anywhere (well, in the Nether anyways).
The only real trick is knowing that you absolutely have to confine it, or as people are beginning to discover, you run into some rather interesting difficulties.

Just an observation though, you can grow it in the over world, although you do have to soul urn it and it doesn't keep growing like it does in the nether. My suggestion so it make the nether far more important. The tree should die if you grow it in the over world.

I don't see why. Using soul urns in automation wouldn't be in the least bit cost-effective, and there's no way to automate the application process anyways. In the overworld then, these things are strictly decorative.
The Nether provides it with an abundance of souls to absorb and to feed on, while the Urns provide a one time infusion for a burst in growth. I think it all fits together nicely.

that's true I didn't think of that. BTW not sure as I never really observed the nether and XP from mobs there, But is this thing boosting the amount of XP mobs drop or just increasing there spawn rate around the tree. I swear the creative world I am testing in I can't kill pigmen fast enough more keep spawning just as fast as they die.
and for fun the tree of souls.

That's almost 1/4 as big as mine was! :P

I'm going to have to be very careful with this... though I can see it making travel through the Nether faster safer if you grow it big enough to make massive leafy bridges over those wretched lava lakes.
The spice must flow...

The kitten is traumatized by stupid. Please stop abusing the kitten.
Oh it is way bigger than this This is half the tree the other side is easily just as big. Not only that, this is from 3 tree's planted right next to each other. The damn thing kept growing next to lava falls and replanted in spots. It is insane how invasive this tree gets if kept unchecked.
