Cherry saplings won't grow past stage 1 if they are close to a regular lantern. Placing soul lanterns, torches, flowers, other cherry saplings, bamboo, and pathways 1-3 blocks from sapling does not hinder growth. The cherry saplings start at stage zero and no matter how much bone meal is placed onto the sapling, it will not grow past stage 1. As long as the regular lanterns are placed near the sapling by the time the sapling reaches stage 1, the sapling wont grow into a tree. I am unsure of what is so special about regular laterns compared to torches and soul lanterns in this case?

Thank you for the response. It turns out it was just a coincidence with the cherry blossoms being near the lanterns. All of my cherry blossoms finally turned into trees, it just took some of them quite awhile to grow. I put over 30 bone meal on each of the saplings that seemed stuck and it was not enough, but after a few more in game days they finally became trees.
Attached is a screenshot of my cherry trees. I decided to plant one last sapling and see how long it took for it to grow. Around 7 days went by and I used about 5 bone meal and the sapling was still stuck on stage 1. I ended up cheating my game into creative mode so I would have unlimited bone meal, easily 200 bone meal or more later the sapling turned into a tree.
Just as a coincidence I am wondering if there are other players who are also having strange things occurring in their game? Attached is a screenshot of some Lily of the valley flowers that up until entering creative mode my fox, Cinnamon sat down in and wouldn't stand back up again. Also attached is a screenshot of some farmland and buildings. For some reason for a little while my villagers kept jumping off the ledges in this area hurting themselves. As in multiple villagers making back to back to back jumps. My villagers are slowly disappearing and I'm a little afraid that the two issues are related. No new blocks were added in this area either.
Please provide an image of your setup; it appears something is blocking its growth.
