A '''willow tree''' is a lumber tree requiring level 30 [[Woodcutting]] to cut, granting 67.5 Woodcutting [[experience]] for each set of [[willow logs]] received.

Chopping these trees is arguably one of the best Woodcutting experience for [[free players]]. Thus, it is not uncommon to find large quantities of woodcutters on a willow tree in a [[free-to-play]] world.

Willows are marked on the world map with a droopy tree icon ([[File:Map icon - Tree 4.png]]).

==Mechanics==
A willow tree will fall after 50 [[ticks]] (30 seconds) of chopping; the depletion timer regenerates if players stop cutting the tree before it is fully chopped. Once fallen, it will take 14 ticks (8.4 seconds) to respawn.

A roll to receive a log is done every 4 game [[ticks]] when chopping. The chance to successfully chop is affected by the [[axe]] used and Woodcutting level: better axes and a higher woodcutting level increases the likelihood of successfully receiving a log.

==Additional drops==
*[[Beaver]] - Willow trees have a chance to drop the beaver Woodcutting pet. At level 30 Woodcutting there is a '''1 in 288,536''' chance to receive the beaver and a '''1 in 286,811''' chance at level 99.
*[[Bird Nest]] – There is '''1 in 256''' chance to drop from willow trees. The bird nest will be dropped on the ground and will despawn after two minutes if not picked up. The bird nest will be given in place of logs.
*[[Clue nest]] – Willow trees have a chance of dropping any tier of clue nest, based on Woodcutting level, the tree's base chance, and access to the reward tiers of [[Combat Achievements]]. See [[Clue nest#Woodcutting rates|Clue nest § Woodcutting rates]] for a detailed breakdown.
*[[Loop half of key (moon key)]] - Willow trees in [[Varlamore]] have a chance to drop the loop half of the moon key which opens the [[Chest (moon key)|moon chest]] in the [[Ruins of Tapoyauik]]. There are several willows in north-east [[Aldarin]] right next to the [[Statue of Ates]].

==Farming==
{{Main|Willow seed}}
With level 30 Farming, [[willow seed]]s may be grown into a willow tree, which gives [[willow logs]] when cut down. Checking on a fully grown and healthy Willow tree will give 1,456.5 [[Farming]] [[experience]]. It takes 4 hours and 40 minutes to grow. When cut down, the tree will automatically regrow after a period of time. Alternatively, it can be dug up using a [[spade]], yielding some [[willow root]]s in the process. A player may also pay one [[basket of apples]] to a nearby farmer to guarantee its growth.

==Lore==
There are several mentions of willow trees by people around Gielinor as well as in books. The following text is transcluded from [[Gielinor's flora - trees]]. The information found within the book is more often than not just flavour text, and does not reflect their properties or uses within the game itself.
<blockquote>
Found across the temperate zones of Gielinor, willow trees can be found near almost any body of water. The willow has a myriad of uses such as baskets, furniture and toys. The willow is also particularly useful in medicine as when chewed, the bark of the tree can treat a myriad of illnesses such as fever and inflammation. An enchanting story revolving around willows, is the tale of the willows which can be found in Great Kourend. Although found across the kingdom, they are in fact not native. A well-known legend amongst the people of Hosidius is the story of Alexander the Poet. Alexanders{{sic}} beautiful writings of all things botanical won the favour of the then Duchess of Lumbridge. She was so smitten by his writings that she requested them sent immediately across the sea as soon as the ink had dried upon the parchment. In return for his writing, Alexander was granted a request and asked for what seemed to all to be a humble gift, that of a single willow twig. The Duchess complied and sent the twig with all haste to Kourend where the learned Alexander planted the twig. Legend has it that all of the Kourend's willows are descended from this first one.
