There are tiles in Wurm where a tree or bush grows. Trees can be cut down and chopped up by activating and using a [[hatchet]]. This uses the [[woodcutting]] skill. You can also use a myriad of other tools for cutting a tree down, but this will be far less effective. The amount of [[wood]] produced depends on the age of the tree and the type of tree. See [[woodcutting]] for more information on cutting down trees.
Trees can be categorised categorized in 3 4 types: lumber trees, nut trees, fruit trees, and bushes. Fruit trees will produce extremely little wood when cut down, and bushes produce no wood, but these two types can be harvested along with nut trees while they are in their harvest [[season]].
==Propagation and Age==[[Sprouts]] can be picked from a tree by using a [[sickle]] on itwhen the tree is in a sprouting stage. This uses the [[forestry]] skill. These sprouts can then be used to plant new trees. Planting Taking a sprout uses the [[gardening]] skill. Removing the sprout from will retreat a tree reduces the age of the tree slightlyback one stage.
Very old Planting a new tree uses a sprout and [[gardening]] skill. A sprout can be planted at the center or at a random location on a tile. When trees with replant themselves after advancing beyond overaged the location within its tile of the new young tree will be random. Further, this is true even if the overaged tree had been center planted. Sprout quality does not determine tree quality. Trees self-plant their own sprouts when they advance beyond a sprouting stage. Both the tile they spread to and the location within that tile which the tree sprouts are random. Tiles must support tree growth for sprouts to propagate. Trees and bushes age through the 15 stages: young, young, young, mature, mature, mature, mature-sprouting, old, old-sprouting, old, old-sprouting, very old, very old-sprouting, overaged, shriveled. Trees generally take several real weeks to grow to "old", "very old" or "overaged trees can be pruned ", which are the prime types for cutting. Oak is known to take several months to reach old age. ==Tending==Pruning with a [[sickle]] can be done to very old-sprouting and overaged trees. This reduces their age and delays reverts the tree's age to very old . Grass under a tree can be cut like a [[Grass tile]] and shriveled' stagetrimmed like [[Lawn]]. Trimmed grass will stay trimmed on deed. Off deed and in perimeter trimmed grass will revert to wild grass quickly. Wild grass will spread from trimmed tree tiles to adjacent dirt tiles.
==Tree Types==
Lumber trees give large amounts of [[wood]] when chopped at an old age. Most types of wood also have special properties.
* [[Birchtree]] - Less wood is needed to reach the maximum burn-time of a fire.Overaged trees produce [[bark]] when using a [[awl]]* [[Cedartree]] - Items made out of cedar decay slower. Arrows made out of cedar are easier to improve. Cedar [[charcoal pile]]s will burn longer but produce less [[charcoal]].* [[Mapletree]] - Maple trees is a lumber tree that can be harvested for [[maple sap]] with a bucket (while it's in [[season]]). Arrows made out of maple take less damage. * [[Oak]] - Rare Willow tree. Oak tools take less damage when used. An oak will kill other trees within 2 tiles. Oak [[charcoal pile]]s will burn longer and produce more [[charcoal]]* [[Pine]] - Pinewood has no special properties, but pines are abundant and grow fast.* [[Willow]] - Rare tree. Willow wood is good for all [[archery|bow]]s types and [[fishing rod]]s. A willow will kill other trees within 2 tiles.* [[Fir tree]] - Fir has no known special properties.* [[Linden tree]] - Linden has no known special properties.
Added in v1.1. ===Nut Trees===[[SproutNut]]s trees have nuts which can be found while [[foraging]]harvested during harvest season, but otherwise provide same amount of wood as Lumber trees.
* [[LindenOak tree]] - [[Acorns]]; Rare tree, grows slowly. An oak will kill other trees within 2 tiles. Wooden weapons,shields and tools made with Oak take less damage when used. Oak [[charcoal pile]]s will burn longer and produce more [[charcoal]]* [[ChestnutPine tree]] - [[Pinenuts]]; Pinewood has no special properties, but pines are abundant and grow fast.* [[Walnuttree]] - [[Charcoal Walnuts]]; [[charcoal pile]]s made from walnut will give a 10% bonus on the quality of the items it produces.* [[FirChestnut tree]] - [[Chestnuts]]; Chestnut has no special properties.
===Fruit Trees===
[[Fruit]] trees have fruits which can be harvested during harvest season, but they give very little wood. They are also notorious for spreading incredibly fast and removing potential growth locations for other trees with more utility.
* [[Appletree]] - apples[[Green apple|Apples]]* [[Cherrytree]] - cherries[[Cherries]]* [[Lemontree]] - lemons[[Lemons]]* [[Olivetree]] - olives[[Olives]]* [[Orange tree]] - [[Oranges]]
===Bushes===
[[:Category:Bushes | Bushes]] don't give any wood at all when chopped down. Like fruit trees, they can also be harvested. * [[Camellia bush]] - [[Camellia]]* [[Lavender bush]] - [[Lavender flower]]* [[Oleander bush]] - [[Oleander]]* [[Rose bush]] - [[Rose]]* [[Thorn bush]] - not harvestable, dangerous* [[Hazelnut bush]] - [[Hazelnuts]]* [[Grape bush]] - [[Grapes]]* [[Blueberry bush]] - [[Blueberries]]* [[Raspberry bush]] - [[Raspberries]]* [[Lingonberry bush]] - [[Lingonberries]] Seedlings can be found while [[foraging]]. Seedlings are used to make a [[Trellis]], some may be harvested.
* [[CamelliaIvy seedling]] - camellia* [[GrapeHops seedling]] - grapes* [[Lavender]] - lavender* [[Oleander]] - oleander* [[Rose]] - rose petals* [[Thorn]] - not harvestable, dangerous
==Tree/Bush Ages==
* '''Old'''
** Harvestable
** Lumber Trees yield a fallen tree, weights: 106,.67kg, 120kg (with sprout), 133.33kg or 146.67kg (with sprout); Fruit trees yield one 3.20 kg, 3.60 kg (with a sprout) or 4.00 kg log
** Will produce sprouts
* '''Very Old'''
** Harvestable
** Lumber Trees yield a fallen tree with a weight of 160.00 kg if they do not have a sprout, 173,.33 kg if they do; Fruit trees yield one 4.80 kg or 5.20 kg (with a sprout) log
** Can be pruned back to the beginning stages of very old when they are close to growing to the next level of overaged
** Will produce sprouts
==Notes==
* Trees generally take several real weeks to grow to "old", "very old" or "overaged", which are the prime types for cutting. Oak is known to take several months to reach old age.
* Trees infected by [[mycelium]] do not produce fruit.
* Sprout quality does not determine tree quality.
* Trees spread if a sprout is left on them when they advance to the next growth stage.
* Order in tree height (at very old stage) is as follows: Cedar, Pine, Maple, Chestnut, Oak, Linden, Birch, Fir, Walnut, Willow, Olive, Apple, Cherry, Lemon
* Tile must be at least two dirt levels above water to plant trees.
* Coconut is crafted from a nut, pineapples are crafted from apples, but neither are something found or harvested
* Certain sprouts may be used to create [[Hedges]]
