Minecraft – Which tree type yields the most wood

minecraft-java-edition

To make the most of my wood farming I'd like to plant the tree type that will give me the most wood yield.

(I know the types have different spacing requirements- does that play a part in the answer?)

If you build tree farms underground plain trees are the best. If you keep the ceiling 7 blocks high the whole tree will be harvestable from the ground. Plain trees can grow when planted right next to each other unlike birch trees. Pine trees will not grow with a 7 block high ceiling.

However, if you plant plain trees too close together they won't grow much leaves. So it is easy to run out of saplings. I suggest planting them in rows and leave a block or two between the rows.
