Fair warning:
Growing trees like to eat turtles for nutrition.
(When the trees "pop" up the leaf blocks have a tendency to overwrite the turtle block)

As long as the tree has sufficient room to grow, and you don't place your turtle in a bad location this shouldn't be an issue.

I place my turtles next to the saplings and have never had an issue. Allow 2 blocks on all sides of the sapling, ensure there is nothing above the sapling and you should be good to go.

I was meaning if the turtle is currently chopping a tree and an adjacent tree pops up… it can happen.

Thats why you allow adequate spacing around the tree's your harvesting. Each different type of tree has a set max radios that the leaves can spawn. :(/>/>

You just have to think/plan ahead.
