How to Plant Fruit Trees

To plant a fruit tree in OSRS, you need to have the required farming level and the appropriate sapling. You can purchase saplings from farming stores or players. Once you have the sapling, use it on the corresponding fruit tree patch and pay the farmer to plant it for you. It will take a few hours for the tree to grow, and you will need to water it periodically.

Caring for Fruit Trees

To ensure that your fruit trees grow healthy and produce a high yield of fruit, you need to take care of them properly. This includes:

1. Checking the tree's health regularly and using secateurs to prune any diseased or dead leaves.

2. Watering the tree regularly - you can use a watering can or water spell.

3. Checking the tree's protection status and replacing any damaged tree guards.

4. Applying compost to the tree every few hours to boost its growth rate and yield.

Selling Fruit

Once your fruit trees have grown and produced fruit, you can pick them and sell them for profit. The price of each fruit varies depending on the type and current market demand. You can sell your fruit at the Grand Exchange or to other players.

Conclusion

Planting fruit trees is a profitable and enjoyable way to train your Farming skill in OSRS. By knowing where to plant fruit trees, choosing the right type of tree, and taking care of them properly, you can ensure a high yield of healthy fruits that can be sold for a profit.
