Introduction

In the game of RuneScape, papaya trees are a highly sought-after resource as they provide both fruit and logs for crafting. They require a certain level of farming skill and care to grow, but are ultimately worth the effort. This guide will walk you through how to plant and take care of papaya trees in RuneScape.

Farming Level Requirement

Before you can even think about planting papaya trees, you must have a farming level of at least 57. You can check your farming level by opening your skills tab and scrolling down to farming. If you do not yet have a farming level of 57, you will need to work on leveling up your farming skill through other farming activities until you reach this level.

Obtaining Papaya Seeds

Once you have the required farming level, you will need to obtain papaya seeds to plant your trees. Papaya seeds can be obtained in a few different ways:

- Purchased from the Grand Exchange

- Obtained through bird's nest drops while chopping trees with a hatchet

- Obtained from pickpocketing Master Farmers

The Grand Exchange is the easiest and most reliable method for obtaining papaya seeds, as they can be purchased for a fairly low price. However, it is worth noting that bird's nest drops and pickpocketing can provide additional seeds and are worth doing if you have the time.

Planting Papaya Trees

With papaya seeds in hand, it's time to plant your trees. To plant a papaya tree, you will need a papaya sapling and a plant pot filled with soil. Use the papaya sapling on the plant pot to fill it with soil, then use the pot on a fruit tree patch. You will need to water the tree with a watering can and wait for it to grow. This will take approximately 16 hours.

Caring for Papaya Trees

Once your papaya tree has grown, you will need to care for it in order to ensure that it provides fruit and logs. Here are some tips for caring for your papaya tree:

- Check the tree's health regularly (right-click on the tree to do so). If the tree becomes diseased, use a plant cure on it to heal it.

- Harvest the tree when it is fully grown (right-click on the tree and choose "harvest"). This will provide you with papaya fruit and logs, which you can use for cooking or crafting.

If you take good care of your papaya tree, it will continue to provide fruit and logs for multiple harvests.

Conclusion

Planting papaya trees in RuneScape requires a bit of effort and care, but with the right level of farming skill and attention, you can cultivate these valuable trees and reap their benefits. Remember to regularly check on the health of your tree and harvest it when it is fully grown, and you will soon have a bountiful supply of papaya fruit and logs.
