Introduction

Maple trees are a popular choice for players seeking to level up their Woodcutting skill in Old School Runescape. They are also a great source of maple logs, used in several high-level crafting recipes. In this guide, we'll show you how to plant maple trees in OSRS.

Gathering the Seeds

The first step in planting maple trees is obtaining maple tree seeds. These can be obtained by trading with other players or by buying them from the Grand Exchange. Alternatively, you can get them as a rare drop from bird nests, which are obtained by chopping down trees with a higher Woodcutting level.

Planting the Seeds

Once you have obtained your maple tree seeds, head to the location where you want to plant your tree. Choose an area with plenty of space and relatively flat terrain. Use the spade in your inventory to dig a hole in the ground, and then plant the seed by right-clicking on it and selecting "Plant".

Caring for the Tree

After planting the seed, it will take a few hours for the maple tree to grow. During this time, it's important to make sure that the tree is well-watered and free from weeds. You can do this by using a watering can on the tree and using a rake to remove any weeds that appear.

Once the tree has matured, you can check its health by examining it. If it's diseased, use a plant cure on it. If it has fully grown, you can chop it down for maple logs and then plant another seed in the same spot.

Harvesting the Logs

When the maple tree has fully grown, you can chop it down for maple logs. This will give you Woodcutting experience and maple logs, which can be sold for a decent profit on the Grand Exchange. You can also use the logs to make maple longbows or maple shieldbows, which are used in several high-level fletching recipes.

Conclusion

Planting maple trees in Old School Runescape is a great way to level up your Woodcutting skill and obtain maple logs for crafting. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll be able to plant and care for your maple trees with ease.
