Description

Trees can be cut down and chopped up by 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 in 3 types. Lumber 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 while they are in their harvest season. Check the season article for specific harvest times.

Sprouts can be picked from a tree by using a sickle on it. This uses the forestry skill. These sprouts can then be used to plant new trees. Planting a sprout uses the gardening skill. Removing the sprout from a tree reduces the age of the tree slightly.

Very old trees with sprouts and overaged trees can be pruned. This reduces their age and delays the 'old and shriveled' stage.

Tree Types

Lumber Trees

Lumber trees give large amounts of wood when chopped at an old age. Most types of wood also have special properties.

  • Birch - Less wood is needed to reach the maximum burntime of a fire.
  • Cedar - Items made out of cedar decay slower. Arrows made out of cedar are easier to improve. Cedar charcoal piles will burn longer but produce less charcoal.
  • Maple - Maple trees is a lumber tree that can be harvested for maple sap with a container (such as a bucket) while it's in season. Arrows made out of maple take less damage.
  • Oak - Rare tree. Oak tools take less damage when used. An oak will kill other trees within 2 tiles. Oak charcoal piles 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 bows and fishing rods. A willow will kill other trees within 2 tiles.

Fruit Trees

Fruit trees have fruits which can be harvested during harvest season, but they give very little wood. They are also notorious (with the exception of Olive trees) for spreading incredibly fast and removing potential growth locations for other trees with more utility.

Bushes

Bushes don't give any wood at all when chopped down. Like fruit trees, they can also be harvested.

Tree/Bush Ages

  • Young
    • Not harvestable
    • Lumber Trees will only yield one log
  • Mature
    • Harvestable
    • Lumber Trees will only yield one log
    • Will produce sprouts
  • Old
    • Harvestable
    • Lumber Trees will yield a fallen tree; Weights: 106,67kg, 120kg (with sprout), 133.33kg or 146.67kg (with sprout)
    • Will produce sprouts
  • Very Old
    • Harvestable
    • Lumber Trees will yield a fallen tree with a weight of 160.00 kg if they do not have a sprout, 173,33 kg if they do.
    • Can be pruned on trees and bushes back to the beginning stages of very old when they are close to growing to the next level of overaged
    • Will produce sprouts
  • Overaged
    • Not harvestable
    • Lumber Trees will yield a fallen tree with a weight of 186.67 kg
    • Can be pruned on trees and bushes to set the age back to the beginning stages of very old
  • Old and Shriveled
    • Not harvestable
    • Lumber Trees will only yield one log
    • Will replant itself after it dies

Notes

  • Trees generally take several 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.
  • Old, very old and overaged trees give a felled tree when chopped down. Other age groups give a log.
