ok after some playing i have found a setup that will do what you want. first you set up your planter (no range upgrade) in the middle of a 5x5 square. your harvester will be outside of the 5x5 square with an iron upgrade so it will monitor the whole 5x5 area. that way no matter where the planter puts the sapling it will have room to grow and a harvester that can reach it. then put a chest next to the harvester. the bigger the better and a redstone engine pumping out. the wood pipe goes to a stone pipe then to a redstone pipe then off to whatever sorting machine or setup you have for that. under the redstone pipe place some redstone going to a transposer that is pulling out of a chest full of the saplings. and then run pneumatic tubes from the transposer to your planter.

now i know what you guys will say. "ironcaptain the harvester will output straight into the pipes without the need for the chest and engine." this i know already. its there for a reason, and that being that the harvester has a habbit of stoping for a few seconds while harvesting big trees. with the redstone pipe being my sensor for when a tree is harvested i have to keep it in the same state till the tree is completely harvested. to do that i had to slow down the feed of items.

ps i used oak trees for my tests because they dont take as long to grow and i can use bonemeal on them.
