Ivy

Ivy is a vine which can be cut down by members. It was released along with the Woodcutting Rebalance update update on 23 September 2009. They grow against certain walls of cities. You need woodcutting level 68 to chop this tree but you will not obtain an item by chopping it. When an ivy vine is chopped down the remains will be an ivy stump. The respawn rate is 40 seconds. Chopping grants 332.5 xp (which is the highest woodcutting xp today).

It was designed to be fast xp without monetary rewards (apart from bird nests), as this "tree" does not require any trips to the bank. You can compare this to the powermining, but without dropping your items.

The Sacred clay hatchet grants 665 experience per vine cut. With a fully charged hatchet, a player will average about 34,000 xp in 18-20 minutes before it dissolves, which works to roughly 102k xp per hour, however 3 hatchets will be needed.

Using a dragon hatchet will grant around 25,000 experience in 20 minutes, for around 75,000 experience per hour.

Trivia

 * The Inferno Adze does not burn Ivy, as it is not a log. Thus, the Inferno Adze works as a normal Dragon hatchet.
 * Lumberjack clothing does not affect the amount of xp received.
 * When ivy respawns, it is seen climbing up the wall.
 * If curious, you can watch how fast others cut by observing the ivy hitting the ground at their feet.
