Grass and Plants prevent trees from growing

Trees are not growing (does not matter if its oak birch or whatever)

The problem occurs when there’s grass and flowers next to a sapling which prevents the sapling to grow (does not grow with stacks of bonemeal either)

How to reproduce:

• Place a sapling (any kind) on a flat surface where it could grow normally.
• Use bonemeal to grow grass and flowers next to the placed sapling.
• Now try to grow the sapling.

Expectations:

A beautiful tree grows out of a sapling with no problem.

Reality:

Trees are being prevented from growing just because of a 2-3 block radius of grass and flowers?

 

Edit:

I tested it on java and it works but why not in bedrock? I mean short grass or flowers can’t and shouldn’t prevent a sapling from growing. But it somehow doesn’t grow in bedrock
