up().oak().right(8).spruce().right(8).birch().right(8).jungle();
Trees won't always generate unless the conditions are right. You
should use the tree methods when the drone is directly above the
ground. Trees will usually grow if the drone's current location is
occupied by Air and is directly above an area of grass (That is why
the `up()` method is called first).
![tree example](img/treeex1.png)
None of the tree methods require parameters. Tree methods will only be successful
if the tree is placed on grass in a setting where trees can grow.
Drone.garden() method

Parameters
