Tree


 * This article is about an ordinary tree. For varieties of tree in general, see Trees.

Trees are the most common scenery in RuneScape. They are chopped down through the woodcutting skill and can be turned into a fire through the firemaking skill. Trees can also be cut down to be turned in to Plank at the sawmill operator north-east of Varrock, but this iks for members only.

Woodcutting
Trees can be found almost everywhere in RuneScape, and they are the first training method of woodcutting. A player only needs level 1 woodcutting and an axe to chop down a tree. For each set of logs a player collects from a tree, the player gains 25 experience towards their woodcutting skill.

Firemaking
A player only needs level 1 firemaking and a tinderbox to turn a normal tree's logs into a fire. Doing so earns the player 40 experience towards their firemaking skill.

Construction
A tree can be built in the garden of a player-owned house. To do so requires 1 bagged tree, a watering can, and level 5 construction. When planted, it earns the player 31 experience for both construction and farming skills.

Fletching
Normal trees can be cut into Arrow shafts at level 1 Fletching, Shortbows at level 5 and Longbows at level 10.

Stumps
A tree stump is what remains of a tree after it has been cut down by a player. The stump's examine text depends on the type of the original tree, so it is easy to determine which stumps go with which trees for some tree types. Some time after the tree was cut down, anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, most stumps will respawn into the trees they came from so they can be cut again. Some stumps, however, are purely for decoration and will not do so.

You can remove a tree stump of a tree a player planted by using a Spade on it.
