Sapling

This article is about the farming item. For trees found in the Chambers of Xeric, see Sapling (Chambers of Xeric).

A sapling is a tree seedling that has grown sufficiently to be planted in a tree patch. Players must have the appropriate Farming level to plant the sapling in a tree patch, which can be aided by temporary boosts. Players may apply compost, supercompost, or ultracompost to a tree patch before planting the sapling.

Despite not being farming produce, Tool leprechauns will note saplings. Players should be careful when planting saplings as otherwise they will have to visit a bank to unnote them.
