Introduction

Planting an oak tree in Old School RuneScape is a great way to grow your own resource for woodcutting and firemaking. With a few simple steps, you can grow a young oak tree into a fully matured one. However, it is important to know the proper method for planting an oak tree in order to achieve maximum growth and health.

Step 1: Obtaining an Acorn

The first step in planting an oak tree in OSRS is to obtain an acorn. Acorns can be found by chopping down oak trees, which are commonly found in areas such as the Woodcutting Guild or outside of Seers' Village. Another way to obtain an acorn is by purchasing one from the Grand Exchange.

Step 2: Finding the Right Location

Once you have obtained an acorn, the next step is to find an appropriate location to plant it. Oak trees require level 15 Agility and level 30 Woodcutting to plant, so make sure your character has met those requirements before proceeding. Ideal locations for planting include Falador Park, Taverley, or the Woodcutting Guild.

Step 3: Preparing the Soil

Before planting the acorn, it is important to prepare the soil. Use a rake on the spot where you plan to plant the oak tree to clear any weeds or other plants that may interfere with its growth. Once the soil has been cleared, use a spade to dig a hole in the center of the cleared spot. The hole should be slightly larger than the size of the acorn.

Step 4: Planting the Acorn

Now that the soil has been prepared, it is time to plant the acorn. Simply use the acorn on the hole that you dug out in the previous step. Your character will then plant the acorn and cover it with soil. It is important to water the acorn after planting to ensure that it grows properly. To do this, use a watering can on the patch.

Step 5: Caring for the Oak Tree

After planting the acorn, it will take around 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes) for the oak tree to grow fully. During this time, it is important to keep an eye on the tree and care for it as needed. If the tree becomes diseased or dies, use a plant cure on it to restore its health. Once the oak tree has grown to maturity, it can be chopped down for oak logs, which are useful for firemaking.

Conclusion

Planting an oak tree in Old School RuneScape is a rewarding activity that offers a variety of benefits. By following these simple steps, you can successfully plant and care for your own oak tree. As your tree grows, it will provide a renewable source of oak logs for firemaking and other purposes. With a little patience and dedication, you can watch your oak tree grow from a small acorn to a majestic tree.
