There are tiles in Wurm where a tree or bush grows. Trees can be cut down and chopped up by activating and 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 categorized in 3 4 types: lumber trees, nut 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 along with nut trees while they are in their harvest [[season]].
==Propagation and Age==
[[Sprouts]] can be picked from a tree by using a [[sickle]] on it when the tree is in a sprouting stage. This uses the [[forestry]] skill. Taking a sprout will retreat a tree back one stage.
Planting a new tree uses a sprout and [[gardening]] skill. A sprout can be planted at the center or at a random location on a tile. When trees replant themselves after advancing beyond overaged the location within its tile of the new young tree will be random. Further, this is true even if the overaged tree had been center planted. Sprout quality does not determine tree quality.
Trees self-plant their own sprouts when they advance beyond a sprouting stage. Both the tile they spread to and the location within that tile which the tree sprouts are random. Tiles must support tree growth for sprouts to propagate.
* [[Hazelnut]] - Hazel nuts
Seedlings can be found while [[foraging]]. Seedlings are used to make a [[Trellis]], some may be harvested.
* [[Grape seedling]] - Grapes
* Tile must be at least two tiles above water to plant trees.
* Coconut is crafted from a nut, but is not itself something found or harvested
* Certain sprouts may be used to create [[Hedges]]
