== Description ==
Trees can be cut down and chopped up by using an a [[hatchet]] as well as with a myriad of other tools. This uses the [[Sproutwoodcutting]]s skill. You can also use a myriad of other tools for cutting a tree down, but this will be picked from trees using a far less effective. The amount of wood produced depends on the age of the tree and the type of tree. See [[sicklewoodcutting]], and can be used to plant new for more information on cutting down trees elsewhere. Trees that are left sprouting long enough will plant sprouts nearby on their own.
There are different Trees can be categorised in 3 types of . Lumber trees, fruit trees, primarily grouped by their lumber productionand bushes. Non-lumber 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, usually with a sickle]]. See Check the [[seasonsseason]] 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.

=== Lumber Trees ===
Lumber trees give large amounts of [[wood]] when chopped at an old age. Most types of wood also have special properties.
* [[Birch]] - Birchwood burns better than other Less woodis needed to reach the maximum burntime of a fire.* [[Cedar]] - Items made out of cedarwood cedar decay slower than other items; also good for arrows. Arrows made out of cedar are easier to improve. Cedar [[charcoal pile]]s will burn longer but produce less [[charcoal]].* [[Maple]] - Maple trees is a lumber tree that can be harvested for [[maple sap (using ]] with a container, like (such as a [[bucket]] - not a sickle)while it's in [[season]]. Arrows made out of maple take less damage. * [[Oak]] - Oakenwood items hold up stronger from use then other woodsRare 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 [[bow]]s and [[fishing rod]]s. Items made from willow wood are suspected to damage faster. A willow will kill other trees within 2 tiles. 
=== Fruit Trees ===
* '''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 treewith 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 treewith 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'''
== 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 - in some cases, years 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.
* If a tree is left long enough with enough of the same tree in the immediate area, it can wither from overaged to the 'old and shriveled' status. Shriveled trees yield no fruit and shriveled lumber trees yield wood similar to that of a fruit tree.* [[Sprout]]ing very old trees prevents them from becoming overaged. It is not known whether overaged trees give more or less wood than normal, but it is known that overaged trees shrivel more quickly.* Pruning very old or aged trees can make them regress back to 'Very old'.
