Because pine trees (and Christmas trees) will grow on any solid surface,
their saplings are handy to take with you when deep mining. Just before
you run out of tool wood, dig out a space large enough for a tree to
grow, plant a pine or Christmas tree sapling then place 2 torches on
either side, right next to the sapling. After the tree grows harvest
the trunk for tool wood, the leaves for short-run fuel in the furnace
and for saplings to renew your tool wood supply again.
