Building in LEGO Fortnite can be a drag when trees begin sprouting up in the middle of walkways and houses. Here is how to prevent chopped-down trees from reappearing in LEGO Fortnite.
LEGO Fortnite has been a massive success for the community since its release in early December. With over 200,000 concurrent players daily, the mode is the third-most played behind regular Fortnite and Zero Builds.
However, the community has recently expressed some mixed reviews about the game. Many users complain about a lack of content and bugs that keep piling up. Although there have been several leaks regarding upcoming content, nothing has yet been confirmed.
Now, players are reporting issues regarding trees that keep coming up through builds despite being taken down.
How to get rid of trees sprouting from builds in LEGO Fortnite
The best way to get rid of trees is to dig up the spot where they were planted. Once chopped down, trees will slowly begin to regrow in the same place.

To know if a tree has started to return, look for a small sapling on the ground. It will be thin but resemble the version of the removed tree. For players on console, saplings may be extra tricky to find due to lighting and other graphics.
When the spot has been dug up with a shovel, the tree should not be able to return. This will allow players to enjoy their builds without pesky trees coming up everywhere.
LEGO Fortnite may patch this issue in an upcoming update, but for the time being, digging up saplings with a shovel seems to be the only option
