This was originally going to be part of a much larger suggestion that's coming in, but I decided to post it separately. It's easy enough to tell from the title.
Living Tree Seed
-Found in Living Chests
-Can be bought from the Dryad for 2
Effectively, when planted, this will begin to grow a living tree in several days' time - better yet, it's specific to the biome it's in, including Boreal, Palm, Pearlwood, Shadewood and Ebonwood living trees. I've divided the mechanical explanation into pieces so as to make it as clear as possible, especially from a coding standpoint.
Of course, these living trees can occur naturally as well, in the Crimson, Ocean, Corruption or Tundra. Hallowed trees will occur only if a tree is taken over fully by the Hallow.
Wands and leaf wands are available if you guys want them, but that's auxiliary.

To plant the seed at all:
-5 horizontal grass tiles of the same type are needed
-These tiles must have 5 blocks of empty space on either side
-There must be at least 10 vertical blocks for the tree to begin to grow
To grow a full tree:
-A rough trapezoid of space, free of all monsters, critters and players, must be available:
--4 blocks at the base
--20 at the top
--45 blocks tall

IF the above conditions are met;
THEN the tree will wait two days and begin to grow, even if the player is on-screen.
Layers will be added, one by one, until it's complete all the way up.
The tree will never grow partially - this is to make block calculation easier on the game.
