Trees

Trees are a part of the natural scenery of Old School RuneScape. Trees can be found all across the realm of Gielinor, but especially in forested kingdoms, such as in the tropical jungles of Karamja and the temperate forests of Asgarnia and Misthalin.

Functions of trees

Trees have many functions in Old School RuneScape. Players can interact with most trees, although some are non-interactive and only exist as scenery. Trees play a role in quests, skills, and transportation.

Woodcutting, Firemaking, and Fletching

Players can use an axe to cut trees using the Woodcutting skill to gain logs, and different trees yield different types of logs when cut. In addition, Forestry events can spawn whilst chopping down trees beginning with oak trees.

Players can then burn these logs with the Firemaking skill to make a fire, usually by using a tinderbox on them. Members can also use the Fletching skill to shape logs into items used for Ranged by using a knife on them.

Farming

Members can also grow certain types of trees from seeds using the Farming skill. Players can grow trees by planting tree seeds, fruit tree seeds, or spirit tree seeds in soil-filled plant pots, watering the seeds with a watering can, waiting for a short germination period, then planting them with a spade in tree patches. The only trees that can be grown using Farming are the types of wooden trees that can be cut using the Woodcutting skill, fruit trees, which produce fruit, and Spirit Trees, which can be used for transportation.

Construction

Bagged trees can be planted by members in tree hotspots in gardens in player-owned houses using the Construction skill. This also requires a certain Farming level and a watering can. Bagged trees can be bought from the gardener in the park in north-east Falador. These trees cannot be cut.

There are also four types of trees which yield logs which can be made into planks at the sawmill. These planks can then be used to make furniture using Construction.

Quests

Specific trees occasionally play roles in quests, such as the Dramen Tree, which is the focus of the Lost City quest, or the swaying tree in The Fremennik Trials. The Grand Tree in the Tree Gnome Stronghold has a role in some quests involving gnomes, including The Grand Tree quest and the Monkey Madness I quest.

Transportation

The Tree Gnome Village quest also rewards players with the ability to use Spirit trees, sentient ancient trees that are used by gnomes and friends of their race to travel between certain locations.

Canoe trees can also be cut down using an axe and the Woodcutting skill. Once a canoe tree has been felled, players can right-click on it to make one of four types of canoes, which can be used to travel up and down the River Lum, even into the Wilderness.

Types of trees

There are four main types of trees. The type of tree usually determines its uses.

Skill trees

These trees can be cut using the Woodcutting skill, burned using the Firemaking skill, crafted into bows using the Fletching skill, and grown using the Farming skill.
