Trees

Trees are a part of the natural scenery of RuneScape. Trees can be found all across the realm of Gielinor, but especially in forested kingdoms, such as in the tropical jungles of Karamja and the temperate forests of Asgarnia and Misthalin.

Functions of Trees
Trees have many functions in RuneScape. Players can interact with most trees, although some are non-interactive and only exist as scenery. Trees play a role in quests, skills, and transportation.

Woodcutting, Firemaking, and Fletching
Trees which are composed of certain types of wood can be cut with an axe using the Woodcutting skill. These trees yield different types of logs when cut. These logs can be burned using a tinderbox and the Firemaking skill to make fires, or shaped into bows for Ranged by members using a knife, a bowstring, and the Fletching skill.

Farming
Members can also grow certain types of trees from seeds using the Farming skill. Players can grow trees by planting tree seeds, fruit tree seeds, or spirit seeds in soil-filled plant pots, watering the seeds with a watering can, waiting for a short germination period, then planting them with a seed dibber in tree patches. The only trees which can be grown using Farming are the types of wooden trees which can be cut using the Woodcutting skill, fruit trees, which produce fruit, and Spirit Trees, which can be used for transportation.

Construction
Bagged trees can be planted by members in tree hotspots in gardens in player-owned houses using the Construction skill. This also requires a certain Farming level and a watering can. Bagged trees can be bought from the gardener in the park in northeast Falador. These trees cannot be cut. There are also four types of trees which yield logs which can be made into planks at the sawmill. These planks can then be used to make furniture using Construction.

Quests
Specific trees occasionally play roles in quests, such as the Dramen Tree, which is the focus of the Lost City quest. The Grand Tree in the Tree Gnome Stronghold has a role in some quests involving gnomes, including The Grand Tree quest and the Monkey Madness quest.

Transportation
The Grand Tree quest also rewards players with the ability to use Spirit Trees, sentient ancient trees which are used by gnomes and friends of their race to travel between certain locations. Canoe trees can also be cut down using an axe and the Woodcutting skill. Once a canoe tree has been felled, players can right-click on it to make one of four types of canoes, which can be used to travel up and down the River Lum, even into the Wilderness!

Types of Trees
There are four main types of trees. The type of tree usually determines its uses.

Skill Trees
These trees can be cut using the Woodcutting skill, burned using the Firemaking skill, crafted into bows using the Fletching skill, and grown using the Farming skill.

Farming Trees
Members can grow these trees from tree seeds planted in plant pots and then in tree patches using the Farming skill.

Construction Trees
These trees yield logs which can be made into planks at a sawmill. These planks can then be made into furniture using the Construction skill.
