Cherry Sapling in Minecraft trading
Cherry Sapling is a Wandering Trader exclusive: no job villager buys or sells it at all, so the roaming merchant with the two llamas is the only source, at 5 emeralds each.
Cherry Sapling grows into a full tree, so a single one is effectively an unlimited supply of that wood once you plant it and let it drop more saplings. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it comes out of cherry leaves, 5% of the time, 10% with Fortune III.

Your odds of finding Cherry Sapling
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades cherry sapling is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the wandering trader (common pool): 6.6% of them carry it, so it takes about 15.2 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wandering Trader | common pool | 6.6% (5 in 76)same in Bedrock | about 15.2 | 8 cherry sapling in totalhe never restocks | cannot be cured |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The wandering trader has no workstation and never restocks, so his row is everything that offer will ever give you, and he has no reputation to earn, so curing does nothing for him. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Who trades Cherry Sapling, and at what price
The Wandering Trader sells Cherry Sapling for 5 emeralds each. He does not buy cherry sapling back: that offer runs one way.
No standard villager profession lists Cherry Sapling in its trade table, so the trader above is the whole market for it.
Is buying Cherry Sapling from the Wandering Trader worth it?
He asks 5 emeralds each, and 65 of the other 75 come cheaper. Price is the easy part: he draws his stock from a shared pool, so catching one that happens to be carrying cherry sapling is the real constraint.

What 5 emeralds cost in goods
The Wandering Trader asks 5 emeralds for a cherry sapling. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 diamonds | journeyman Armorer | 12 | 2.4 cherry saplings |
| 24 book and quills | expert Librarian | 12 | 2.4 cherry saplings |
| 48 scutes | expert Leatherworker | 12 | 2.4 cherry saplings |
| 120 dried kelp blocks | expert Butcher | 12 | 2.4 cherry saplings |
| 240 beetroot | novice Farmer | 16 | 3.2 cherry saplings |
| 240 coal | novice Armorer | 16 | 3.2 cherry saplings |
| 288 white wool | novice Shepherd | 16 | 3.2 cherry saplings |
| 512 rotten flesh | novice Cleric | 16 | 3.2 cherry saplings |
5 diamonds against 160 rotten flesh for the same 5 emeralds, 32 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Farmer at 3.1 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.
How to actually get Cherry Sapling from the trader
The Wandering Trader is not part of any village. He arrives on his own near where you are playing, with two leashed trader llamas behind him, stays for roughly forty minutes to an hour, and then vanishes whether or not you traded with him. There is no workstation to place and no job block to break, so the usual tricks for steering a villager toward a particular offer do nothing.
He does not buy cherry sapling. He takes six kinds of item and this is not one of them, so the offer runs one way: emeralds out of your inventory, cherry sapling into it.
Each trader carries only a slice of the full stock list, so the one standing in front of you may simply not have cherry sapling today. If he does and you want more than one visit's worth, put a name tag on him: a named mob will not despawn, which turns a passing merchant into a permanent shop you can come back to.
