How to Plant an Apple Tree in Old School RuneScape (OSRS)

Planting an apple tree in OSRS is a great way to earn farming experience and make some money. In this guide, we will show you how to plant an apple tree from start to finish.

Requirements

Before you start planting an apple tree, you need the following:

Level 27 farming

5 apple tree saplings

5 water-filled buckets

1 spade

1 rake

Step 1: Preparing the Patch

The first step is to prepare the patch where you will plant the apple tree. To do this, use the rake to remove any weeds or plants in the patch. Once the patch is clear, use the spade to dig five holes in a row, about 3 squares apart.

Step 2: Planting the Saplings

Once the holes are dug, use the apple tree saplings on the holes. Make sure you have enough water-filled buckets in your inventory, as you will need one for each sapling. Use the bucket of water on each sapling to plant them in the holes you just dug.

Step 3: Caring for the Trees

After planting the saplings, it's time to care for your trees. Apple trees take about 16 hours to grow, and you'll need to check on them every few hours to make sure they're healthy.

Apple trees need to be watered every few hours, so make sure you have enough water-filled buckets in your inventory. You also need to check the trees for any bugs or diseases that can harm them. Use a pair of secateurs to remove any diseased branches, and use a plant cure potion to cure the tree if it's infected with a disease.

Step 4: Harvesting the Trees

Once your apple trees are fully grown, it's time to harvest them. Each tree will yield about 6 apples, which you can sell on the Grand Exchange for a decent profit.

To harvest the trees, use the secateurs to cut the branches of the tree. Then, use a basket to collect the apples that fall to the ground. Repeat this process for each apple tree.

Conclusion

Planting an apple tree in OSRS is a great way to earn farming experience and make some money. With the right tools and care, your trees will grow healthy and yield plenty of tasty apples. So, what are you waiting for? Get planting!
