Introduction

Planting oak trees from acorns is a great way to create new sources of wood, especially in the world of RuneScape. Oak trees provide an important resource for players, such as logs for firemaking and planks for construction. Moreover, oak trees provide an aesthetic value to your virtual environment. But not everyone knows how to plant oak trees from acorns. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide to show you how to do so.

Step 1: Gather Acorns

The first step in planting oak trees from acorns is to gather them. You can find acorns by chopping down oak trees and using them as a temporary measure. Another way to obtain acorns is to gather them while thieving Master Farmers or while completing the Farming Guild contracts. The recommended number of acorns to gather is 100 to minimize the risk of failure during the planting process.

Step 2: Prepare the Pot

After gathering the acorns, you should prepare the pots for planting. The recommended pots for planting oak trees are the large plant pots. To prepare the pots, fill them with compost or super compost. Super compost is better as it increases the success rate of planting the acorns. You can make super compost by using a compost bin to create compost and then adding in volcanic ashes. It is important to have the super compost or compost in the pot as it provides the necessary nutrition for the oak trees to grow.

Step 3: Plant the Acorns

Once the pots are prepared, you can start the planting process. Take one acorn at a time and use it on the pot filled with compost or super compost. You should see a message appear that says "You plant your oak acorn in the plant pot." Repeat this process until all the pots are filled with acorns. It is important to note that the acorns have a low success rate, so it is recommended to plant more than one per pot to increase the likelihood of success.

Step 4: Wait and Water

After planting the acorns, you need to wait for them to grow into oak saplings. The growing time duration is 280 minutes, which is equivalent to around 4.67 hours. During this duration, you need to water the oak saplings with a watering can to ensure that they grow properly. You should also check the health of the saplings regularly while they are growing. This check is necessary for providing treatment in case of disease or pests.

Step 5: Transplant the Saplings

After the oak saplings have grown, it is time to transplant them into their final location. The recommended location is northeastern Varrock, as it has eight oak trees in close proximity. To transplant, use the spade on the fully grown sapling and choose the option "Clear". Then, use the spade again on the cleared patch and choose the option "Plant oak tree". It is important to note that the growing time duration of the oak trees is 960 minutes, equivalent to around 16 hours. So, you need to wait patiently for the oak trees to grow to their mature stage.

Conclusion

Planting oak trees from acorns in RuneScape is a great way to create a new source of wood and increase the aesthetic value of your environment. However, the planting process requires patience and several steps to ensure success. By following the steps mentioned in this guide, you can plant oak trees from acorns with ease.
