Trees can be cut down and chopped up by using a [[hatchet]]. This uses the [[woodcutting]] skill. You can also use a myriad of other tools for cutting a tree down, but this will be far less effective. The amount of wood produced depends on the age of the tree and the type of tree. See [[woodcutting]] for more information on cutting down trees.
Trees can be categorised in 3 types. Lumber : lumber trees, fruit trees, and bushes. Fruit trees will produce extremely little wood when cut down, and bushes produce no wood, but these two types can be harvested while they are in their harvest [[season]]. Check the [[season]] article for specific harvest times.
[[Sprouts]] can be picked from a tree by using a [[sickle ]] on it. This uses the [[forestry]] skill. These sprouts can then be used to plant new trees. Planting a sprout uses the [[gardening]] skill. Removing the sprout from a tree reduces the age of the tree slightly.
Very old trees with sprouts and overaged trees can be prunedwith a sickle. This reduces their age and delays the 'old and shriveled' stage.
