Tree
Trees are plants that do not yield fruit but can be cut to get Wood or tapped to get valuable saps or resins for further processing. Trees spawn in the wild randomly and can also be planted by the player.
Growing trees
Tree seeds are commonly obtained by cutting fully mature trees (50% chance to drop a seed) or by cutting grass with a sword (1 in 65 chance or 1.5%), with the seeds being the following from most common to rarest:
Box Tree Seed (29.46%)
Maple Tree Seed (29.46%)
Pine Cone (29.46%)
Fern Tree Pod (3.57%)
Puffle Tree Seed (2.68%)
Bobby Tree Seed (1.79%)
Fire Tree Seed (1.79%)
Water Tree Seed (1.79%)Tree saplings can be obtained by planting the seeds or picked up when they spawn in the wild. A tree seed or a sapling can then be planted in untilled soil on the player's farm, inside a Greenhouse, or most other map locations. The tree will start growing and will grow during any season. All trees will go through four growth stages before they reach full maturity; during the seed and sapling stages, a tree can be pulled out of the ground and replanted by holding the pick up button. For the tree to fully mature, its eight surrounding squares have to be kept empty of other trees; if a tree seed or a sapling is planted close to another tree, it will not grow past the sapling stage.
Most trees will change seasonally, changing their leaf color or losing their leaves completely during winter. However, even during winter, the trees will continue to grow and produce sap.
Uses
Trees can be cut for Wood or tapped for sap.
Logging
Trees can be cut with an axe on any of their growth stages. Most trees drop Wood when cut, with fully mature trees having a 50% chance to drop a seed as well.
Bobby and Fern Trees have slightly more health and drop slightly more wood than all other trees.
| Stage | HP | Drops |
|---|---|---|
| Seed | 0 | Seed can be pulled out |
| Stage 1 | 1 2 (Bobby and Fern) |
 Wood (1; 2 for Bobby and Fern) |
| Stage 2 | 4 6 (Bobby and Fern) |
Wood (2; 3 for Bobby and Fern) |
| Stage 3 | 6 8 (Bobby and Fern) |
Wood (3-4; 6-8 for Bobby and Fern) |
| Mature | 8 10 (Bobby and Fern) |
Wood (6; 9 for Bobby and Fern) Tree seed (50%) |
| Stump | 4 | Wood (4; 5 for Bobby and Fern) |
If left alone, each stump left over from cutting a mature tree has a 3% to spawn a wood mushroom every morning.
A green or rainbow pixie can be placed on a mature tree to harvest wood every morning without cutting the tree.
Shaking trees
A full grown tree (except Cherry Blossom Trees) can be interacted with to shake it to get a critter. Every tree has a 6% chance to have a critter in it on any given day; that chance is rolled for in the morning and will not change during the day even if a tree is shaken repeatedly. The player can only get one critter per tree, with the critter being the following:
Bee (32.79%)
Silkworm (27.87%)
Small Cocoon (16.39%)
Cocoon (6.56%)
Small Caterpillar (6.56%)
Caterpillar (4.92%)
Giant Caterpillar (1.64%)
Giant Cocoon (1.64%)
Pink Bee (1.64%)Bees obtained by shaking trees need to be caught with a bug net, caterpillars and cocoons can be picked up immediately.
Tapping
- Main article: Tapping
Most trees, with the exception of Bobby and Fern, can be tapped with a Tapping Kit or a Delicate Tapping Kit depending on the type. Tree sap can be collected from the tapper when it is ready and then processed into syrup or essence in an Evaporator. Raw and processed sap has a variety of crafting and quest uses.
