Tree

Description

Trees can be cut down by using an axe, as well as with a myriad of other tools. Sprouts can be picked from trees using a sickle, and can be used to plant new trees elsewhere. Trees that are left sprouting long enough will plant sprouts nearby on their own.

There are different types of trees, primarily grouped by their lumber production. Non-lumber trees can be harvested while in season, usually with a sickle. See the seasons article for specific harvest times.

Tree Types

Lumber Trees

Lumber trees give large amounts of wood when chopped at an old age. Most types of wood also have special properties.

• Birch - Birchwood burns better than other wood.
• Cedar - Items made of cedarwood decay slower than other items. Also good for arrows.
• Pine - Pinewood has no special properties, but pines are abundant and grow fast.
• Oak - Items made of oakwood take less damage, but oaks are rare. An oak will kill other trees within 1 tile.
• Willow - Willowwood is good for bows and fishing rods. A willow will kill other trees within 2 tiles.

Fruit Trees

Fruit trees have fruits which can be harvested during harvest season, but they give very little wood.

• Apple - Harvested for apples
• Cherry - Harvested for cherries
• Lemon - Harvested for lemons
• Maple - Harvested for maple sap (using a container, like a bucket - not a sickle)
• Olive - Harvested for olives

Bushes

Bushes don't give any wood at all when chopped down. Like fruit trees, they can be harvested.

• Cammelia - Harvested for cammelia
• Grape Bush - Harvested for grapes
• Lavender - Harvested for lavender
• Oleander - Harvested for oleander
• Rose Bush - Harvested for rose petals

Notes

• Trees generally take several weeks to grow to Old or Very Old, which are the prime types for cutting.

Trees and Direction!

When chopping a tree down, they always fall North-South.

Logs will not tell you which is which.

Felled trees always have the Tree top (pointy end) facing south.

Creating logs from a felled tree does not keep to this rule. Neither does dropping a felled tree/log, it must be chopped.

Note that fields are also always North-South.
