@verfens Can you please also include your graphics settings in your game? Thanks!

Certainly! I just think that this one in particular was acting odd because none of the other plantable trees in the game have had this issue.

@verfens I suspect there may have been some adjustments to the visuals to prep for the new pack. Although it is certainly possible that this is a glitch/bug, or at the very least an adjustment that should be made in the game to make these items so they display properly at all graphics quality settings, I would recommend as a work-a-round that you try playing with the graphics settings a bit and see if it helps. In other words, raising the quality some in the settings.
Please try setting your graphics to medium and this should fix it. Thanks!

I’m also on a Mac on all low settings and laptop mode; I’m experiencing the exact same issue as shown in the original post.

@shadedgrey63 I believe laptop mode can cause issues, as can the low graphics settings. Please take it off laptop mode, then put your graphics to ultra (in graphics quality). Then re-start the game. If that fixes the issue but you have lag problems or other signs of too much drag on your computer you can try tweaking the graphics quality settings and re-check the results.
Edit: Upon review you should not need to disable laptop mode for this issue, as it looks like adjusting the graphics to medium will work. If this doesn't you can try adjusting the graphics higher until the trees display correctly. This is the current workaround. Thanks!
