Fable 2 allows players to plant an acorn in the ground and watch it grow into an oak tree during the course of the game. This feature was promised in Fable 1 (which was also Molyneuxed), but after literally receiving threats from fans over the exclusion of acorns in Fable 1, Lionhead made darn sure to include it in Fable 2.




....This sounds a lot like something he'd say, so I do not believe it. But in case I am missing something here... did he?

Or did he bypass it with the growing of the Oakfield Tree?
 
It ended up being removed due to technical restraints. Quote from Games Radar said:

Alas, poor old Pete never managed to get his growing acorns in the game. We’ll cut him some slack, though. After all, he manned up to your own Dave Houghton in an interview last September and admitted he may have been over-egging the whole growth mechanic, saying: “It's so next time you see me, you don't say "You said that bastard oak tree and acorns would be in the game!" [laughs] Next time we meet, you're going to say "Why didn't you tell me about this?” We’ll just mark this failed promise down as a casualty of an overly ambitious, yet still aces games.
 
That's why I always wait for the game to come out first instead of getting my hopes up about the things he says are ganna be included. Even the trailers could be lying. I mean, the trailer for Fable, was NOTHING like the game. >.<
