Collecting Fruiting Apple Tree Leaves with Shears

Why Use Shears?

While chopping down an Apple Tree gives you apples, using shears allows you to harvest the Fruiting Apple Tree Leaves blocks themselves. This is useful if you want to create an apple farm, build with these decorative blocks, or preserve the tree structure.

How to Harvest Leaves with Shears

1. Equip your shears in your hand

2. Locate an Apple Tree with fruiting leaves

3. Right-click on the fruiting leaves blocks

4. The leaves will drop as collectible blocks rather than apples

Using Harvested Leaves

Once collected, Fruiting Apple Tree Leaves can be:

  • Placed in your world for decoration or aesthetic builds
  • Used to create custom apple farms by planting them near tree trunks
  • Stored for later use

Note that shears are more efficient for preserving the leaf blocks themselves, while axes are better if your primary goal is gathering apples for food. Choose your tool based on whether you want the leaves or the apples.
