Introduction

Oak trees are one of the most popular trees to be planted in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) due to their usefulness in training the Woodcutting skill and their value to players who wish to train the Construction skill. If you want to learn how to plant an oak tree in OSRS, this guide will provide you with all the information you need.

Preparing to Plant an Oak Tree

Before you can plant an oak tree in OSRS, you will need to have a few things ready. Firstly, you will need an oak tree seed. You can get an oak tree seed by chopping down oak trees or by purchasing them from players or the Grand Exchange. Secondly, you will need a spade to dig the hole for the oak tree seed. Finally, you will need a rake to prepare the patch where you plan to plant the oak tree seed.

Choosing a Patch to Plant the Oak Tree Seed

There are four oak tree patches in OSRS where you can plant an oak tree seed. These are located in the following areas:

West of the Champion's Guild

South of Falador

North of Port Sarim

Prifddinas

It is recommended that you choose the patch that is closest to a bank to make the process of planting and checking on your oak tree as efficient as possible.

Planting the Oak Tree Seed

To plant the oak tree seed, you will need to use the rake on the patch to remove any weeds or debris. Next, use the spade on the patch to dig a hole. Lastly, use the oak tree seed on the hole to plant it. Make sure to water the newly planted oak tree seed with a watering can to help it grow.

Caring for the Oak Tree

Once the oak tree has been planted, you will need to wait for it to grow. It takes approximately 160 minutes (2 hours and 40 minutes) for an oak tree to grow, assuming it receives the necessary amount of water and has not been affected by disease. You can speed up the growing process by using supercompost when preparing the patch, which increases the chance of a successful growth.

To check the progress of your oak tree, simply right-click on the tree and select "Check-health". If your oak tree has grown fully, you can chop it down to obtain oak logs, which can be used to train the Woodcutting skill or sold for profit. Alternatively, you can use a tree-shaking scrimshaw or a superior tree-shaking scrimshaw to obtain additional oak logs while cutting down the oak tree.

Conclusion

Planting an oak tree in OSRS requires a bit of preparation and patience, but it is worth it in the end. With this guide, you should now have all the information you need to successfully plant and care for an oak tree. Good luck and happy planting!
