Maple Tree

Maple trees are an orange coloured tree. They can be cut down with level 45 Woodcutting giving the player 100 experience per maple log. On Miscellania, however, cutting maple trees raises popularity and only gives 0.1 experience. Although there isn't a high demand for maple logs, members often cut normal maple trees down as they give a lot of experience, considering the unpopularity of maple logs (therefore, there are less people in clusters when cutting them down).

Many players cut maple trees in order to reach level 60, when they can then cut yew trees. Free players can chop maple trees, but they must enter the resource dungeon on the Daemonheim peninsula in order to cut the only maple trees in the free game. This requires a Dungeoneering level of 30.

Woodcutting


Seers' Village is a popular location for cutting these trees because they are behind and in front of the bank, making for a quick trip to store the logs obtained from woodcutting. A player gets a 100 experience per maple log. Also, player can get 110 woodcutting experience per log if they have a Seers' headband 2 equipped, but you get the most xp from sacred clay hatchet which gives 200 xp. It is suggested to start cutting Maple trees at a woodcutting level of 50.

Farming
Maple seeds may be grown into a Maple tree, which gives Maple logs when harvesting it with an hatchet. When cut down, the tree will automatically regrow after a period of time. Alternatively, it can be dug up using a spade, yielding some Maple roots in the process.

Construction


A Maple tree can be built in the garden of a player-owned house. It requires 1 bagged maple tree, a watering can, and level 45 Construction. When built, the player earns 122 Construction experience.
