A Mahogany Tree usually takes about 26 ± 12 in-game days to mature without Tree Fertilizer, or about 7 ± 2 in-game days with it. Those are typical estimates, not guaranteed deadlines: growth is probabilistic, so a seedling may fail to advance on any given night.
How long does a Mahogany Tree take to grow?
Each night, a planted Mahogany Seed has a chance to advance to its next growth stage. Without fertilizer, that chance is 15%; with Tree Fertilizer, it rises to 60%. Because the roll can fail on some nights, two trees planted at the same time may mature on different days.

How to make a Mahogany Tree grow faster
- Plant a Mahogany Seed. Tree Fertilizer is applied after planting, not before.
- Apply Tree Fertilizer to the planted seed or sapling. This changes the nightly stage-advance chance from 15% to 60%, but it does not make growth automatic every night.
The Tree Fertilizer recipe is learned at Foraging Level 7 and requires 5 Fiber and 5 Stone, according to the Stardew Valley Wiki’s Trees reference. That cost can help you decide whether the shorter expected wait is worth the materials.

Why might a Mahogany Seedling seem stuck?
- Growth is chance-based. An unfertilized seed advances only 15% of the time on a given night; fertilizer improves the chance to 60% but still allows nights without progress.
- It is Winter. Unfertilized trees generally stop growing during Winter, while fertilized seedlings continue. Unfertilized trees in the Desert and on Ginger Island are exceptions.
- Fertilizer was applied before planting. Apply Tree Fertilizer after the seed is in the ground.
