Introduction

Planting palm trees in RuneScape is a great way to grow a valuable resource that can be harvested and sold for profit. To start the process, you need to have the necessary items and follow a few steps to ensure successful growth. This guide will provide you with all the information you need to know about planting palm trees in RuneScape.

Requirements

Before you start planting palm trees, you need to have a Farming level of 68 and have completed the quest "The Hand in the Sand." In addition, you will need a palm tree sapling, a filled plant pot, and a payment of 15 papaya fruits.

Preparing to Plant

To start planting the palm tree, first, use the palm tree sapling on the filled plant pot to make a palm seedling. Once you have created the palm seedling, you can plant it in a hardwood tree patch. You can find hardwood tree patches in various locations around RuneScape, such as Tai Bwo Wannai, Fossil Island, and the Etceteria tree patch. Make sure to have a spade in your inventory to dig a hole for the seedling.

Caring for the Tree

After planting the palm seedling, you will have to wait for it to grow. The tree will take approximately 15 hours to fully grow, and during that time, it is essential to care for it properly. Make sure to water the tree with a watering can periodically as it grows, and use compost on the plant when necessary to ensure healthy growth. It is also important to protect the tree from disease by using plant cure on it, which you can buy from farming shops or make yourself.

Harvesting Your Palm Tree

Once the palm tree has fully grown, you can start harvesting it for its fruit. You can do this by using a basket or a pair of secateurs on the tree, which will give you palm fruits that you can sell on the Grand Exchange or use to make papaya fruit into farming patches. Palm fruits are worth a decent amount of money, making them a profitable resource to be harvested.

Conclusion

Planting and growing palm trees in RuneScape can be a profitable enterprise if done correctly. By following the above steps, you can ensure that you take care of your tree and harvest it successfully. With a bit of patience, you can reap the rewards of your labor by selling the fruits for a profit. Hopefully, this guide has provided you with all the information you need to know to start growing your own palm trees in RuneScape. Good luck!
