Trees can only grow on open acres that has no obstructions like signboards, bridges, buildings and other landmarks. Some areas cannot be planted at all, as the game suggests that these acres should be for walking areas of the villagers. Up to 24 trees can grow at one acre, and each one-fourth of an acre can only have a max of 6 trees.
Once planted, saplings cannot de destroyed. Only if the planting location is bad for growing plants is the sole reason why a tree cannot fully grow. However, you can just dig up a planted tree using a shovel if you don't like it. It takes 4 days for a sapling to be fully matured. As a fully grown tree, you can use an axe to cut it down, then a shovel to remove the remaining stump afterwards.
