Maple Tree

Maple trees are orange coloured trees. 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 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 only chop maple trees at the Daemonheim Peninsula resource dungeon. It is also used for firemaking and to level up quickly in free to play.

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 100 experience per maple log. Also, players can get 110 woodcutting experience per log if they have a Seers' headband 2 equipped, but the most experience is gained from using a sacred clay hatchet which gives 200 experience.



A less popular location is on woodcutting island on Daemonheim (30 Dungeoneering is required 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 mysterious entrance. There is also a nearby ship that can sail to Al Kharid, where there is a nearby bank. There are quite a lot of maple trees there and there are also a few willow trees. This area is usually not too crowded.

Locations
- Seers' Village (9 trees; 4 behind bank, 3 in back, 3 right of courthouse) - north of McGrubor's Wood (42 trees) - left of Sinclair Mansion (24 trees) - Miscellania (10 trees, gives 0.1 experience per tree) - Daemonhiem Peninsula resource dungeon (8 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.
