Introduction

Willow trees are a popular choice for players of Old School RuneScape (OSRS) as they provide a good source of logs for Firemaking and Fletching. In this guide, we will show you how to plant willow trees in OSRS and provide tips on how to maximize your yield.

Requirements

Before you can start planting willow trees, you will need the following:

At least level 30 Farming

Willow tree sapling

Watering can

How to Plant Willow Trees

Once you have obtained a willow tree sapling, head over to a farming patch. There are several farming patches located throughout the game, including:

North of Port Sarim

South of Falador

East of Catherby

South of Ardougne

Northwest of Tree Gnome Village

Once you have arrived at a farming patch, right-click on the sapling and select "Use". Click on the chosen patch and select "Rake" to remove any weeds. Then, use the sapling on the prepared patch and water it with a watering can.

Growing Willow Trees

Willow trees take approximately 5 hours to grow. During this time, it is important to check on the tree every now and then to ensure that it is growing properly. If the patch becomes diseased or dead, use plant cure or compost to bring it back to life.

Harvesting Willow Trees

Once the willow tree has fully grown, you can chop it down for logs using an axe. Willow trees produce a large amount of logs, making them an excellent source for Firemaking and Fletching. It is also worth noting that if you are looking to train Woodcutting, you can chop down willow trees for experience.

Tips for Maximizing Yield

Here are some tips for maximizing your yield when planting willow trees in OSRS:

Use ultracompost to increase yield

Plant trees in patches close to bank for quick and easy access

Use tree-shaking scrimshaw or superior scrimshaw of agriculture to increase yield and disease resistance

Use magic secateurs or the farming cape to increase yield

Conclusion

Planting willow trees in OSRS is a great way to get logs for Firemaking and Fletching. By following these steps and tips, you can easily grow and harvest your own willow trees, allowing you to save money and gain valuable experience.
