Magic tree

Magic trees are rare trees that can be found in selected members-only areas, and they are shown on the minimap by a rare tree mark -. Level 75 Woodcutting is required to chop these trees, each log gives 250 Woodcutting experience. The best place to cut the magic tree is at the mages guild. Requires 40 magic to get in and has a bank near by. This is the most recomended place to cut this tree.

They are mainly cut by players looking for an income through selling Magic logs, rather than gaining experience due to their slow experience rate. Players can expect to gain up to 120 logs per hour using a Dragon Hatchet.

Tree locations
Magic Trees can be found in these locations:
 * 6 trees in the Varrock Sewers resource dungeon by the Moss giants. (Usually abandoned because of the far distance from the bank and the level 65 dungeoneering requirement)
 * 3 trees (4 when using the Farming patch) scattered within the Tree Gnome Stronghold In a straight line west to east. The centre tree is just a little south-west from the bank. The west tree is on the other side of the river next to the Terrorbird pen (south-west corner). (Note: There is a south gate on the pen.) The east tree is just outside the Agility training area (south-east corner).
 * 4 trees at the Sorcerer's Tower
 * 3 trees east of the Ranging Guild (they are also just northwest of the Sorcerer's Tower, so players can go back and forth between the two locations). After the effects of Clusterflutter, only 1 or 2 players are found at this location.
 * 2 trees surrounding the Mage Training Arena. With so few magic trees it is not popular, but the distance to the bank is relatively short.
 * 3 trees in the south-east area of Isafdar, just south-west of Lletya (less popular due to high quest requirements).
 * 1 tree in the Wilderness, which has a counterpart: the cursed magic tree that is found in the Spirit Realm (unpopular due to its distance from a bank). Must finish Summer's End to get to.
 * Trees in the Resource dungeon are much better than anywhere else, though having 51 agility would benefit using the pipe shortcut separating Varrock Sewers and Edgeville Bank. It is rarely crowded despite it having 6 magic trees. Players should note that the moss giants nearby cannot enter the Resource dungeon.

Magic trees in Construction


A magic tree can be planted in the Garden of a Player-owned house for decoration. It requires 1 bagged magic tree, a watering can, and 75 Construction; when added, it earns the player 223 experience. Players cannot use a crystal saw to gain a +3 Construction boost to plant this tree.

Magic trees in Farming
Members can grow a magic tree at level 75 Farming by planting a magic sapling in a players tree patch, giving 145.5 experience for planting the sapling and a further 13768.3 experience when the tree is full grown. A nearby Gardener will ask for 25 Coconuts in payment for ensuring that the player’s tree will not die while growing. After 460 minutes (about seven and a half hours) the tree is fully grown. It can be chopped as normal, and will also grow back normally when it is chopped down. At level 80 Summoning, a player can use a Hydra familiar’s scroll to instantly regrow a tree grown in a farming patch, allowing for continuous chopping without competition from other players. This method results in a fast way to make money.

Trivia

 * Magic trees used to have a much louder, constant ambient sound. However, this was reduced because players complained that the sound was annoying.
 * Magic trees and Arctic pines are the only trees to possess a constant animation.
 * Although Magic trees are the only trees that are supposed to glow, there is a "normal" tree next to the Magic trees east of the Ranging Guild that glows slightly. This is because any object is programmed to glow when in close proximity to a magic tree.
 * The stump of a chopped down magic tree has no texture, yet the trunk of a full magic tree has texture.
 * Magic trees can be seen on free-to-play world; however, they can only be seen through an Orb of Oculus while standing just south of the mage training area.
 * With the update on 13 May 2007, Magic trees are much taller, and seem to have a curved trunk.
 * Magic trees were originally blue in colour years ago, much like the colour of magic bows now, until changed to have green leaves with the "sparkle effect". When the trees were changed from blue, the bark was also much darker and straight instead of curved. They are blue once again.
 * When you drop the logs, they are animated with the sparkle effect.
 * Although the inside of a magic log is blue, the inside of a magic trunk is not.
 * The stump of magic tree can be seen to glow once the tree has been cut down.
 * Magic trees look strikingly similar to regular trees in Runescape Classic.
