You should probably add a picture or video
Just in case

Also affects Logs. Logs and Leaves are both obstructing Cherry Tree growth.
Both of these saplings don't grow

In bedrock all logs and woods (and their stripped variants) prevent tree growing, unlike java.

Affect 1.20.30.20

Affects 1.20.30

Even a single cherry leaf six blocks above and a few blocks to the side will block the ability of saplings to grow. Still a problem in 1.20.32

affects 1.20.51. pretty major bug for anyone trying to farm/grow/harvest cherry trees

Still an issue in 1.20.70

still broken 1.21.0.25, this is never gonna get fixed ugh, this has ruined my farms

Still broken as of 1.20.81. This bug is the sole reason I have not played since the second week of 1.20 launch. It has been almost a year since launch(6/7/23, today is 5/23/24) and this still has not been fixed. I understand not every bug is equal, but considering this is a reoccurring issue for the past few major updates, I would think it would be an "easier" bug to fix. Unfortunately, my patience and understanding has worn past the point of no return, and I will not be playing anymore future updates. I still hope this gets fixed eventually, but I'm done holding my breath.

Can’t farm cherry trees. That’s a pain, its a nice wood.
This seems a pretty major bug compared to others that have been fixed.

still a bug in 1.21.22

The new pale oak trees are interestingly not affected by this MCPE-187302

Affect 1.21.50.26
Java developers think cherry leaves shouldn't prevent saplings growing. MC-277990

As of Preview 1.21.50.26, cherry blossom saplings are the only remaining saplings that are still affected by this issue.
