The '''Bloodwood tree''' is a tree that grows only in places of bloodshed such as the [[Wilderness]] or places related to a combat [[quest]]. It was released on [[20 March]] [[2012]]. The tree provides [[bloodwood logs]], used in making [[bakriminel bolts]]. The logs will crumble to dust if taken a couple of steps away from the tree, and as such the bolts need to be fletched at the tree that they were cut from. For this reason, the player should first buy [[Bakriminel bolt tips]] from [[Mami Rimba]] before cutting a bloodwood tree.

Each log cut from the tree requires 85 [[Woodcutting]], and grants 320 Woodcutting [[experience]]. Level 93 [[Fletching]] is also required to fletch the wood. Players without the required fletching level may be [[Assist system|assisted]].

Like [[Farming]] trees, these trees are instanced per player and not per [[Server|world]]. This also means the player can't world hop to cut more trees as once cut on one it counts for all. The trees cut very quickly, and provide only a few logs each. In order to reduce cutting time, it is advisable to bring along a [[rune hatchet]] or better regardless of which tree you are chopping.

Although the amount of logs received from each tree is random, the quality of the hatchet being used affects the number of logs the tree yields (much like resources in [[Daemonheim]] while [[Dungeoneering]]). Therefore, using a [[dragon hatchet]] will result in substantially more logs ''on average'' than using a [[bronze hatchet]].

Bloodwood trees take approximately six hours to grow back once cut. As a result, it is not possible to make the bolts very quickly.

The [[Inferno adze]] can be used without issue since Bloodwood logs cannot be burnt by its effect.

==Locations==
Bloodwood trees can be found in only a few locations ([[Mami Rimba]] won't let the player use hers, which is located North-West of [[Edgeville]]). The location of the trees are marked on the world map and the mini map with a red tree symbol.

Note: If the player hasn't completed the relevant quest, they can still see the tree, they are just unable to cut it down.

==Yield amount (logs)==
Typically the yield amount is one log per tree; however, with a Woodcutting level of 90 or higher, and using a Dragon hatchet, it is possible to receive upwards of thirty logs per day. Players report yielding upwards of twenty-two logs from a single tree; the tree south of the Pirate Hideout seems to give the most logs, though is the most dangerous to chop as it is located in very high level Wilderness. The type of hatchet being used does affect the yield amount but it has not been determined how much of an effect this actually has.

On the recent update thread FAQ in response to feedback, Jagex has stated they will implement a minimum amount of logs gained from the tree in the wilderness.{{CiteForum |author=Mod Emilee |url=http://www.webcitation.org/66TVyjtrn |title=Game Update FAQ 20/03/12 |forum=Recent Updates |postdate=20 March 2012 |date=11:21, March 27, 2012 (UTC)}}

The afore-mentioned update has been added with the release of The Crucible, allowing players to now gain a minimum of 'several' logs per tree.

==Trivia==
*The bloodwood shares its name with a [[wikipedia:Corymbia_terminalis|Corymbia opaca tree]] indigenous to Australia, so-named because it appears to bleed red sap.
*Right after the update, some players could not cut certain bloodwood trees. Clicking on the tree resulted in a text appearing saying "Nothing interesting happens."
*Once the bloodwood tree has been cut down, blood will squirt out from the stump of the tree.
*Bloodwood trees can be seen in [[free-to-play]] worlds but cannot be interacted with in any way.
*Currently, if a player uses the teleport option from [[Hartwin]] to get to the [[Chaos Temple (Wilderness)|Chaos temple]] bloodwood tree, the player will be told that the tree is "too robust and refuses to be chopped". This is because the area is not the same as the wilderness and is instead the safe version used during [[Defender of Varrock]].
*Bloodwood trees appear similar to the Headless Horseman's lair in the movie ''Sleepy Hollow ''as they have heads in between their roots and bleed when they are cut.
*Bloodwood trees share a model with [[magic trees]] and cursed [[magic trees]], but a different skin.
