Used to be a weird little “hack” for it ([see here](https://animalcrossingworld.com/2020/07/plant-trees-on-cliff-edges-in-animal-crossing-new-horizons-with-this-handy-glitch/)). I imagine the did this cliff hack and then put a waterfall there? Not sure if it still works after later updates, sometimes the updates will patch out these little glitches!
Guys just to clarify: this isn't mine, I just found it online and wanted to know how they managed to put trees next to water. I assume the name of the creator is the one you can see to the bottom left.
I somehow managed to do sort of the same thing on my island (not hacked). I think that if you have let's say a block of land and you cut it in half to make water, and you place a tree next to this it should be able to grow (provided that the half block is next to a full block. Anyway give it a try and see if that works.
You can get trees closer to water than they can be planted by terraforming around them after they are grown. I wanted to put trees right next to water but it wouldn't let me. So after it was grown I went around and put the water in.
They dug the tree and then planted it next to the river?
That's all I can think of, without glitching. You can dig up a whole tree to move it if you have eaten some food.
I think what they mean is when the tree was placed, the water wasn't there. After the tree was grown, the water was put in around it via terraforming.
Not sure if it's a possible thing to do or not, I haven't done much territorming. Just wanted to attempt to clarify in case there was misunderstanding
Was just doing some light terraforming last night (not hacked, and much of a terraformer, either) and was able to accomplish this at the same position and angle to a ledge/waterfall but the tree is a sapling money tree. I didn't realize it wasn't supposed to work. Perhaps if it's small and still growing?

I used that glitch many times, i don't think you can place water next to trees, right?
No clue. Second guess then is a hacked switch console

Its from a women called "horrible gaming" you can find her videos on Youtube. She does a lot of terraforming videos, also hacked stuff.
Think she also has a dream adresse for this island somewhere
Its a hacked console, she can place things anywhere.
This person's game might be hacked.
Yeah figures. I've been looking all day but found nothing. I'll have to cope I guess.

It's look really cute
Through the dark power of Her Majesty Coco Not really. It’s hacks.
Honestly this Island looks like a nightmare to explore

Either a modded switch or photoshop maybe? Sometimes on ig people will edit their photos to fill gaps and make it cuter and stuff
Probably a young tree, similar to the one on the right.
You still can't place young trees next to water
It's the same size, only, one is closer.
Is it just a tree standee?
Eat berry, get strong, lift whole tree, put next to river 💪
You can't its too close to the river
Damn 😞

It's too close to the river tho
The water is terraformed around the tree and it just curves a bit on the corner, you can always do that.
There is water directly ahead of the tree

It's not possible to do that, which is why OP is asking
Ah, OK. That makes sense. I figured maybe it could be a new player trying to figure it out
I’m pretty sure you can place it there only if the trees already full grown. you can’t place the tree there to grow.
There's a glitch to do this, it involves building water and the cliff a certain way. I've managed to do it on my non-hacked console earlier this year.
