Willow

A Willow tree requires level 30 Woodcutting to chop down. It usually gives more than one set of willow logs before being cut down. These trees are often used for high level woodcutters who want experience as they give a good amount relative to the time taken.

There is a high demand for the logs, for the same reason as the woodcutters, because they are cheap but give good Fletching experience. It is common to find large quantities of woodcutters on a willow tree in a free-to-play world. They are also popular because they are found in close proximity to banks and are in clusters.

Farming
A willow tree can be grown from a willow seed using the Farming skill in any of the tree patches located around RuneScape. To do so requires level 30 Farming, a trowel & a willow tree sapling. When planted it earns the player 25 experience points, as well as another 1,456.3 experience points for checking the fully grown tree's health. To guarantee the growth, a payment of one basket of apples is required.

Once fully grown, use secateurs on the tree to cut willow branches. The tree may be cut down as usual granting Woodcutting experience points. Using a spade on the cut tree roots will give the player willow roots and make the tree patch available for planting a new tree.

Construction
A willow tree can be planted in the tree hotspot of the Garden in a player-owned house. It requires level 30 Construction, a bagged willow tree, and a watering can to plant. When planted, it earns the player 100 experience for both Construction and Farming. However, as it is in the Garden, it cannot be cut down.

Trivia

 * A farmed willow tree looks larger than a regular willow tree.
 * During Enlightened Journey, if a player attempts to cut branches from regular willow trees, the game claims that the "branches are too gnarled to cut".
 * It seems that when players are woodcutting willow trees, they are likely to get a Bird's nest, however that could be a result of the relative speed that these trees can be cut at.
