Sapling location in Fortnite explained
There are five different bomb crater clusters you can plant saplings at for this Fortnite challenges.
At the time of writing, however, the saplings are not appearing at the crater cluster close to the Seven Outpost north-west of The Daily Bugle. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon.
Remember - you only need to plant three saplings to complete this challenge and each bomb crater cluster has three sapling hotspots. This means you can easily complete this challenge in one location - as long as the storm or another player doesn’t get you first of course!

South-east of Greasy Grove cluster locations
Another bomb cluster can be found south-east of Greasy Grove - close to the nearby river.
Here all three of the saplings can be found around the edge of the central crater - one to the east, west and south.
