Introduction
If you are a Runescape player, you might be interested in learning how to plant willow trees. Willow trees are a type of tree in Runescape that players can grow and harvest for woodcutting experience and logs that they can sell for profit. In this guide, we will go through the process of planting willow trees step by step.
Step 1: Acquire Willow Tree Seeds
The first step in planting willow trees is to acquire the willow tree seeds. Willow tree seeds can be obtained through various methods in Runescape, including killing monsters that drop them, buying them from other players, or stealing them from Draynor Village Market Stalls. It is recommended to have at least 5-10 seeds in order to plant a decent number of trees.
Step 2: Prepare the Farming Patch
After obtaining the willow tree seeds, it is time to prepare the patch for planting. The farming patch can be found in various locations around Runescape, including Lumbridge, Falador, and Catherby. First, you will need to clear the weeds and rake the patch to make it ready for planting. This will require using a rake and a seed dibber. Make sure to have a watering can with at least 8 doses before planting the seeds.
Step 3: Planting the Seeds
Next, it is time to plant the willow tree seeds. To do this, use the seed dibber to plant the seed in the farming patch. If you have multiple seeds, you can plant them one by one. After planting each seed, make sure to water it with the watering can. This will increase the growth rate of the tree.
Step 4: Waiting for the Trees to Grow
After planting the seeds, it is time to wait for the willow trees to grow. The growth time for willow trees in Runescape is around 300-400 minutes (5-7 hours). During this time, it is important to check on the trees to make sure they are healthy and have enough water. If the trees become diseased or die, use plant cure or supercompost to save them.
Step 5: Harvesting the Trees
Once the trees have grown fully, it is time to harvest them. To do this, use a hatchet on the tree to get logs. Each log will give you 67.5 experience points in woodcutting. Collect as many logs as you can and sell them on the Grand Exchange for profit. Alternatively, you can use the logs for firemaking or construction.
Conclusion
Now that you know how to plant willow trees in Runescape, you can start growing your own trees and reaping the benefits of woodcutting and selling logs. Remember to acquire the seeds, prepare the patch, plant the seeds, wait for the trees to grow, and finally harvest them. With a little patience and care, you can have a successful willow tree farm in Runescape.
