Prerequisites[edit]

Is it necessary to have uncovered some of the underground for tower-caps to start growing? -Goffrie 20:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Looks like it. Muddied an area of a bit over 2000 tiles, and after 2 seasons none have grown. Edit: 1 year on, no tower caps. Definately need to uncover something.

Yep, you need to have hit a cavern. I'm 3 seasons in, have breached a cavern and have tower caps and shrubs growing in underground :soil near a brook. Dangerous Beans 08:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Mudiness[edit]

I was playing in on .12 and my sand layers were producing trees and shrubs without needing muddied water. ----

It's been observed in several places (none of which seem to be articles on this wiki, oddly enough) that underground trees will grow in subterranean mud (whether on soil, rough stone, or smooth stone, though reportedly not constructed stone floors), dry subterranean soil which has an unmined soil wall beneath it within a 2-tile radius (just like with willow trees and rivers/murky pools), or dry subterranean soil which has mud on any tile within a 2-tile radius on the same Z-level. It's what I've always observed, and several other players have observed similar behavior. --Quietust 20:44, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
