Tree Farming
There are two methods currently available to farm trees: Treeplanter's Pot method' and Direct Method
Treeplanter's Pot Method:
To grow a tree, one needs a Treeplanter's Pot, a Herbalist Table, 1.0 liter of Water, 4 units of Soil (or Soil-like material), and a Seed of Tree or Bush of the plant you wish to grow. Place the Soil, Water, and seed into the pot, and then place the filled pot on an herbalist table. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, the tree will either sprout or die. If it is dead, all you can do is empty the pot and start over. If it has sprouted, you will have approximately eight real-life hours to plant it before it dies.
Take the pot, find a spot where you wish to plant it, and right click on the spot while holding the pot to get the option to plant it. The tree will steadily increase its size and material, but its quality, and the quality of the products gathered from it, stays the same as is determined when it is first grown (See below section: Ways to Improve...) If you chop a or harvest a tree or bush before it has matured fully, all materials harvested will have lower quality than the quality of the tree.
Direct Method:
Gather the seeds you wish to plant. With a shovel equipped, pick up the seed from your inventory with your cursor and right click the ground where you wish to plant the tree. This process takes around 10 seconds and is very fast. Trees planted using this method will be half the quality of the seed uses, capped downwards at quality 10.
Growth Rate
Most, if not all trees seem to take about 150 hours (a little over 6 days) to fully mature on any forest terrain. If planted on other terrains, such as grassland, they grow much slower.
As they grow, trees will naturally convert the ground tiles around them into the native forest biome they're planted on. If it was not planted on a forest tile, it will instead create a generic type of forest terrain called Wald.
Stunting
Tree seeds that are planted directly into the ground have a random chance to become stunted during growth. The chance to become stunted at some point during growth is determined upon planting, and is not affect by any nearby items or outside forces, which means that trees can be planted close together and close to other objects. Skills related to trees affect the chance of stunting (See Skills Below)
Stunted trees give wood of a lesser quality, limited by their growth percentage. Other products such as seeds are unaffected by this and are always of full tree quality. [Verify] Logs from stunted trees also produce less blocks and boards.
Stunted trees do regenerate their resources.
If a tree is planted with a Treeplanter's Pot, it will never be stunted, unless picked from. [Verify]
Skills Affecting Treeplanting
These skills affect the chance for a seeding to sprout from its treepot, as well as the chance for a tree planted directly in the ground to stunt before maturity
- Plant Lore "greater success"
- Woodsmanship "greater success"
- Forestry "significantly greater success"
- Druidic Rite "greatest possible"
Note: The seed's chances of sprouting are increased solely on the above skills.
Ways to Improve the Quality of Farmed Trees
- High quality Herbalist Table: You will need high quality source lumber and Finer Plant Fibre to craft a high quality Herbalist Table.
- High quality Treeplanter's Pot: Quality is softcapped by Dexterity, Masonry and Farming and dependent on the quality of the Clay, Fuel, and Kiln used. Pottery products (such as the Treeplanter's Pot) will also have their quality halved without the use of a Potter's Wheel. The wheel also affects the quality of the product (for better or for worse).
- High quality Water: Water quality depends on the location at which you gather it.
- High quality Soil: Just as water, Soil quality is dependent on the location you gather it at. See Finding high quality water, clay, and soil for more information.
- High quality seed: Same quality as the tree of which it was taken.
- Farming skill: The quality of the tree is softcapped by the Farming skill of the player who plants the seed in the Treeplanter's Pot.

- ^ A Battleaxe of the Twelfth Bay (B12) & Butcher's Cleaver produces the same amount of blocks as a Stone Axe and a Woodsman's Axe the same amount as a Metal Axe.
