Maple Tree

Maple trees are an orange coloured tree. They can be cut down with level 45 Woodcutting, giving the player 500 experience per maple log due to the Jagex update. On Miscellania, however, cutting maple trees raises popularity and only gives 0.1 experience. Although there is a high demand for maple logs, they are somewhat hard to sell on the GE as many 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. It is also used for firemaking and to level up quickly in F2P.

Woodcutting
Seers' Village is a popular location for cutting these trees because they are behind and in front of the bank (there are less in the front and they are more



spread out), making for a quick trip to store the logs obtained from woodcutting. A player gets 500 experience per maple log. Also, players 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 55. If you want to get maple logs faster for exp in woodcutting do it at lvl 61 and if you want to burn the logs it is recommended 56-99 for maximum logs per hour do it at lvl 90 woodcutting with dragon hatchet. Maple logs give 2800 xp per inventory and 3645 if you are also practicing the firemaking skill at the same time. A less popular location is on woodcutting island on daemonheim (you will need 30 dungeoneering to get there) it is the only place that free players can cut the trees. the best way to bank the logs is to use the ring of kinship to teleport to daemonheim and bank them and then run back to the mystierious entrance. there are quite a lot of maple trees there and there are also a few willow trees.

FARMING
Maple seeds may be grown into a Maple tree, which gives Maple logs when harvesting it with a 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.
