Bug Fix for Console

[wishbone346]

So I recently bought a Nintendo Switch. Great idea, glad I did it. Then I thought, "hey, I love that there Skyrim, and it's on Switch. I'm gonna go ahead and pick it up." Now this too seemed like a great idea, and for the first 18 or so hours of gameplay I was having more fun than I've had with Skyrim in ages. Now here's the kicker though. I do the quest to restore the Gildergreen in Whiterun and wouldn't you know it I get that old bug where the sapling grows inside of the old tree. Nearly 7 years and Bethesda still hasn't fixed this damn bug... Anyway, I have a save from before entering the sanctuary so I could go back and just redo everything and get the sap instead, however, I've got like 3 hours of gameplay that happened between then and turning in the quest so that is definitely not something I want to do. I do have a save from just before I turned in the sapling so I was hoping maybe there is some way to avoid the bug on console, or perhaps a way to fix it after it's happened? Anyone that can give me some information on this it would be greatly appreciated, even if the information is just that it's impossible and I'm S.O.L. (though I really hope that isn't the case...)
