I see you've already gotten some good replies, but I thought I'd elaborate a bit further on this one. It seems that if an obstacle fails to spawn at the site it tries to spawn on (due to the space being occupied by a decoration or building etc) it does not randomize another spawn site, but fails to spawn altogether. This is based on observations from several forumites, me included, as I've pushed the spawn radius back all the way to the base perimeter, allowing 2x2 square obstacles to spawn on the very edge of my village map.

I've currently got 23 small (spruce) trees and an impudent fallen trunk that is yet to be removed - but the general consensus seems to be that the likelihood of obstacles spawning in the "forced" area decreases as the total area for spawning is decreased. In short, the more limited the total spawning area, the higher the chance of obstacles failing to spawn on any given site every 8th hour (even though there is plenty of space on the edge, and the 40 obstacle cap is not yet met). The topic of spawn rates was further discussed in here, but everything is purely theoretical and empirical, since there is very little information available on the topic on Clashwiki.

If you really want an X-mas tree, you should probably clear lots of space for it. If you want it to grow on the edge of your map, all you can do is push the spawn area out as much as possible with buildings and decorations and hope for the best :)

I was just thinking about this, just slightly different. This is only a theory, but I have noticed that most of the bases I have seen with two or more trees have a lot more open space on their base. But when looking and talking to clanmates and other high levels without much space, they haven't had much luck with getting a tree. What I am getting at is that if a tree tries to spawn and its spot is blocked, then another spawn point is picked but it resets back to the 2% chance to get one.

Just a theory with no evidence except observations.

The chance is always 2%. The way I believe the spawns work is that it chooses what will spawn based on the spawn chance, and then only spawns it if there is enough empty space for it.

I think Supercell should re-think the Xmas Tree theme and give everyone an Xmas tree on Xmas morning! That way no builders or villagers spend their Xmas without an Xmas Tree!

I get what you are saying, I guess I didn't word my theory properly. Say on the first try of a spawn, rog (random object generator) gives you the xmas tree but its spawn point is blocked, the game cancels that xmas tree and spawn location. So on try #2 rog (random object generator) starts fresh again, picking a new object to spawn and location. Continuing this process over and over until it successfully spawns something.

For sure. I seriously doubt it selects an item and then tries the same item every 8 hours until there is space to place it.

I had 2, just cleared 1 for 25,000 gold and recieved 800 gems. MERRY CHRISTMAS
