'''Trees''' are a part of the natural scenery of ''[[RuneScape]]''. Trees can be found all across the realm of [[Gielinor]], but especially in forested kingdoms, such as in the tropical jungles of [[Karamja]] and the temperate forests of [[Asgarnia]] and [[Misthalin]].

==Functions of trees==

[[File:Barbarian-firemaking.gif|frame|right|A player lighting logs on fire.]]

Trees have many functions in ''RuneScape''. Players can interact with most trees, although some are non-interactive and only exist as scenery. Trees play a role in [[quests]], [[skills]], and [[transportation]].

===Woodcutting, Firemaking, and Fletching===

Players can use a [[hatchet]] to cut trees using the [[Woodcutting]] skill to gain logs, and different trees yield different types of logs when cut.

Players can then burn these logs with the [[Firemaking]] skill to make a [[fire]], usually by using a [[tinderbox]] on them. [[Pay-to-play|Members]] can also use the [[Fletching]] skill to shape logs into items used for [[Ranged]] by using a [[knife]] on them.

===Farming===

[[Pay-to-play|Members]] can also grow certain types of trees from seeds using the [[Farming]] skill. Players can grow trees by planting [[tree seeds]], [[fruit tree seeds]], or [[spirit tree seed]]s in soil-filled [[plant pot]]s, watering the seeds with a [[watering can]], waiting for a short germination period, then planting them with a [[seed dibber]] in [[tree patch]]es. The only trees which can be grown using Farming are the types of wooden trees which can be cut using the [[Woodcutting]] skill, [[fruit trees]], which produce fruit, and [[Spirit Tree]]s, which can be used for transportation.

===Construction===
[[Construction#Bagged plants|Bagged trees]] can be planted by [[pay-to-play|members]] in tree [[hotspot]]s in [[garden]]s in [[player-owned house]]s using the [[Construction]] skill. This also requires a certain [[Farming]] level and a [[watering can]]. Bagged trees can be bought from the gardener in the park in north-east [[Falador]]. These trees cannot be cut.

There are also four types of trees which yield logs which can be made into [[plank]]s at the [[sawmill]]. These planks can then be used to make [[furniture]] using Construction.

===Quests===

Specific trees occasionally play roles in [[quests]], such as the [[Dramen Tree]], which is the focus of the [[Lost City]] quest or the [[swaying tree]] in [[Fremennik trials]]. The [[Grand Tree]] in the [[Tree Gnome Stronghold]] has a role in some quests involving [[gnomes]], including [[The Grand Tree]] quest and the [[Monkey Madness]] quest.

===Transportation===
The [[Tree Gnome Village (quest)|Tree Gnome Village]] quest also rewards players with the ability to use [[Spirit Tree]]s, sentient ancient trees which are used by gnomes and friends of their race to travel between certain locations.

Canoe trees can also be cut down using a hatchet and the Woodcutting skill. Once a canoe tree has been felled, players can right-click on it to make one of four types of [[canoe]]s, which can be used to travel up and down the [[River Lum]], even into the [[Wilderness]].

==Types of trees==
There are four main types of trees. The type of tree usually determines its uses.

===Skill trees===
These trees can be cut using the [[Woodcutting]] skill, burned using the [[Firemaking]] skill, crafted into bows using the [[Fletching]] skill, and grown using the [[Farming]] skill.

|-
|[[Dramen Tree]]||In a small cave in the [[Entrana Dungeon]]||[[Lost City]]||Features prominently in the [[Lost City]] quest, in which players must go to [[Entrana]], kill [[zombie]]s in the [[Entrana Dungeon]] to obtain a [[bronze hatchet]], attempt to cut the tree, defeat the [[Dramen Tree Spirit]] which attacks, cut a [[Dramen Branch]] from the tree, and use a [[knife]] to carve the branch into a [[Dramen staff]], which is needed to complete the quest and gain access to the lost city of [[Zanaris]].

|-
|Canoe tree||On the banks of the [[River Lum]] in five places: [[Lumbridge]], near the [[Champions' Guild]], [[Gunnarsgrunn]], [[Edgeville]], and level 35 [[Wilderness]]||Any other station along the river||Canoe trees can be cut into [[canoe]]s using a [[hatchet]] and the [[Woodcutting]] skill. This requires level 12 Woodcutting to make a log canoe, which can travel up to one station away from where it was made, level 27 Woodcutting to make a dugout canoe, which can travel up to two stations, level 42 Woodcutting to make a stable dugout canoe, which can travel up to three stations, and level 57 Woodcutting to make a waka canoe, which can travel to any station. Only the waka canoe can enter the [[Wilderness]].
|}

== Stumps ==
[[File:Stub.png|left|200px]]

A [[tree stump]] is what remains of a tree after it has been cut down by a player. The stump's examine text depends on the type of the original tree, so it is easy to determine which stumps go with which trees. Some time after the tree is cut down, anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, most stumps will [[respawn]] into the trees they came from so they can be cut again. Some stumps, however, are purely for decoration and will not do so. If two or more woodcutters are cutting wood and one of them completely cuts the tree, the rest of the woodcutters will still continue with the cutting animation in the air, stopping it after a few seconds. Stumps on [[tree patches]] can be removed by using a [[spade]] on them.

==Trivia==
[[File:Graphically_updated_trees.png|thumb|250px|The new and current trees south of [[Falador]], then updated in advance to [[The Clan Camp]].
]]
*Previously, if players were chopping down trees just to have a [[tree spirit]] random event, (since they dropped [[rune hatchet]]s) players might have wanted to use [[Centaur Valley]] as every time a tree was chopped, a spirit would appear. However, since the removal of this random event, [[Centaur Valley]] is now the only place where tree spirits can be found.
*If players use a [[herring]] (raw or cooked) on any tree, they will receive the message: "This is not the mightiest tree in the forest." This is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'', and is one of the many [[cultural references]] in ''[[RuneScape]]''.
*On 5th April 2011, the trees south of [[Falador |Falador]] were graphically updated in advance to the release of [[The Clan Camp]] .
* On August 17th 2011, Trees accross the Free part of the game were updated. This included the trees in Lumbridge, Draynor, Varrock, Falador and even trees on the Woodcutting island. Trees near [[Taverley]] and around the [[Digsite]] were updated too. Farmed trees received an update.
*The previous week, trees around the Grand Exchange and Edgeville were also updated, aswell as spirit trees.
*On March 6 2012, the areas between [[Ardougne]], [[Piscatoris Fishing Colony]] and [[Gu'tanoth]] were updated with new trees, ground textures, and lighting.
*On March 20 2012, the trees and ground textures were updated in the vast majority of Runescape, including [[Miscellania]], [[Seers Village]] and the rest of the [[Fremennik Province]].<br />
