Spirit trees are a gnomish method of transportation. Completion of the Tree Gnome Village or The Grand Tree quest will allow limited access to the network. Players that complete both quests will then have full access. Full access allows players to travel from any available spirit tree directly to any other Spirit Tree in the network but limited access only allows one way trips based on which quest was completed.

Completing Tree Gnome Village unlocks the tree in Tree Gnome Village and The Grand Tree unlocks the tree in the Gnome Stronghold. When travelling with limited access other trees will 'not be interested in talking.'

Additionally, with 75 Construction:

One of the fastest ways to access a spirit tree is to teleport to the Stronghold Slayer Cave with a slayer ring - the player will arrive close to the tree. For low requirements and no cost, using an Ardougne cloak, one can teleport to the Ardougne Monastery and use the Khazard Battlefield tree just to the west. The Port Sarim spirit tree patch (83 Farming) is just south of the explorer's ring's (2 or better) cabbage-port. When the player has a Farming cape or a Skills necklace, they can teleport to the Farming Guild and use the spirit tree there. One of the fastest ways to a spirit tree is by having planted one in a player-owned house (75 Construction and 83 Farming) and using a Teleport to house spell or magic tablet. The fastest way before 83 Farming, is teleporting to the Grand Exchange (with a charged ring of wealth or teletab with the medium Varrock Diary completed) and using the spirit tree there.

The fastest way to a spirit tree is using an Achievement Diary Cape and teleporting to Elder Gnome child. Once the player has teleported to the Elder Gnome Child, the player will be 9-11 tiles away from a spirit tree. This is faster than the POH spirit tree despite being further away (no need to load a POH).

Farming

Players can grow their own spirit tree from a spirit sapling made from a spirit seed once they reach level 83 Farming. Since spirit seeds and spirit saplings are untradeable, they can be difficult to obtain. Spirit tree patches can be found in:

Outside of a POH, players can have one spirit tree from level 83 to level 90, two spirit trees at level 91 and an unlimited amount at level 99. These levels can be boosted.

The growing time for a spirit tree is about 58 hours and 40 minutes. Growing a spirit tree yields 19,501.3 Farming experience, which is the sum of planting (199.5 experience) and checking health (19,301.8 experience).

Spirit trees cannot be cut down, so one simply uses a spade on the tree to remove it. They do not yield roots when removed.

Payment

Spirit trees may be tended by gnome gardeners for 5 monkey nuts, 1 monkey bar, and 1 ground suqah tooth. Given the rarity of the seed, the experience given, and the length of time it takes to mature, having a gardener tend the growing plant is strongly recommended.

Construction

Players can plant their own spirit tree from a spirit sapling in their Superior Garden at level 75 Construction. Doing so also requires level 83 in Farming. Boosts can be used. This tree does not count towards the number of spirit trees that may be planted at one time. At level 95 Construction players can build a Spiritual Fairy Tree, which grants access to both a spirit tree and a fairy ring.

Treasure Trails

  • The Spirit tree in Tree Gnome Village is the solution to the hard cryptic clue: I have many arms but legs, I have just one, I have little family but my seed, You can grow on, I am not dead, yet I am but a spirit, and my power on your quests, you will earn the right to free it. The answer to the challenge scroll is 13112221.
  • Teleporting to a spirit tree you have planted yourself is required to complete a master clue scroll skill challenge assigned by Sherlock.

Trivia

  • Previously, the spirit tree in the Tree Gnome Village served as a network hub. All the other trees would only teleport the player to the Tree Gnome Village, and then players could use the central tree to teleport to all the others.
  • Spirit tree chatheads (ancient/young) are considerably larger than they appear in the chatbox.
