Base Builder's Request: Freeze trees at maximum height with Tree Jam

[QuartzBeam]

This is something that's been on my mind since the Waterlogged beta.

Once we apply even a single Tree Jam to a Knobbly Tree's third stage, the Knobbly Tree can never shrink back to the first stage ever again.

Why not have that be the case with other trees as well?

As it is now, tree jam is far too expensive to use for cycling through tree stages, but letting it "lock" trees into their tallest stage would give it some serious decorative potential.

Why end it there? 

Being able to keep trees at any stage you'd like would be really interesting and could open up potential for long lasting varied builds. (Now the only thing that could ruin our day would be petreefication)

I don't disagree, but it seems weird for Tree Jam, which is supposed to help tree grows, to magically lock them in an underdeveloped stage. I wouldn't complain too much if it did that though.

Hmm... yeah maybe it would be better suited for something else entirely (maybe it could be the same thing which could prevent petreefication). But at that point I feel like we're just asking for an entirely new item or feature which might be a bit much.
