View source for Fruit tree seed

'''Fruit tree seeds''' are used to grow [[fruit tree]]s in [[Farming/Patch locations|fruit tree patches]] in the [[Farming]] skill. Growing [[fruit tree]]s is somewhat different to other plants, in that there is an intermediate growing stage where the [[Seed Table|seed]] must be grown into a sapling before being planted into a cleared [[Farming/Patch locations|fruit tree patch]]. First, an empty [[plant pot]] may be used on any [[Farming/Patch locations|farming patch]], even if something is growing in it, with a [[gardening trowel]] in the player's inventory to fill the [[plant pot]] with soil. Use a single [[Seed Table|seed]] on a filled [[plant pot]] with the [[gardening trowel]] still in the player's inventory and water it with a [[watering can]]. At this point, the [[Seed Table|seed]] has grown into seedling. After a few minutes, the seedling will grow into a sapling which can then be planted in a cleared [[Farming/Patch locations|fruit tree patch]]. In order to do this, the player must have a [[spade]] in their inventory. Add [[compost]] or [[supercompost]] to the cleared [[Farming/Patch locations|fruit tree patch]] before transplanting the sapling. Seedlings and saplings are unable to become diseased while growing in a [[plant pot]]. However, once a sapling is planted in a [[Farming/Patch locations|fruit tree patch]], it can become diseased and needs to be protected. Seedlings and saplings are not tradeable.

Like [[bush]]es, most of the [[experience]] gained in the [[Farming]] [[skill]] is from checking on the [[fruit tree]]'s health, not in planting it or harvesting its fruit.

'''Note:''' Saplings and [[fruit tree]]s do not need watering.
