How bushes can be planted next to each other?

[deleted]

To cover up a slight asymmetry in my town, I planned on making a diagonal part of the main path that straightens out again once it lines up with houses. This idea involves a straight vertical line of five bushes and then two diagonal to the left like this. Flower emoji is a bush and O?s are empty.

They are not next to any building or trees. Would this work? I don?t want to waste bush starts.

It will work!

Bushes can grow in a connection of 12 at most. This includes trees and stumps, vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. If a bush or a tree is planted near a sequence of twelve bushes/trees/stumps touching each other, that thirteenth sapling will not grow.

I think you can plant trees and if they grow, chop them down and add a bush start. Where a tree can grow, so can a bush start. Shake your native fruit trees or use golden shovel to bury as much trees to test this out.

One exception is trees can't be planted nex to each though.

This plus, when you plant a tree/bush and there are over 15 trees/bushes in a 7 x 7 space around it, this tree/bush doesn't grow either.
