===Harvesting===

===Harvesting===

A '''mature tree''' (stage 5) can be shaken for a seed (see [[#Growth Cycle|Growth Cycle]]), [[Tapper|tapped]] for syrup, or felled by chopping it repeatedly with an [[Axes|Axe]]. When chopped down, trees always fall left or right away from the player (if applicable) and produce wood or seeds in the direction of the fall. When chopped from above or below, the player should try to stand off-center on the tile to clearly ensure the direction. If the tree is adjacent to a wall, hug the wall to ensure it falls into playing space. If the tree falls into or near water, the items it drops may disappear into the water.  High [[Magnetism]] is very helpful for quickly collecting the widely-scattered products. The products (not including those from the stump) are:<ref name="treeproducts" />

When tapped, a tree cannot be chopped down or shaken for a seed, unless the tapper is first removed.

When tapped, a tree cannot be chopped down or shaken for a seed, unless the tapper is first removed. (However, if the tree is moss-covered, you can shake it without removing the tapper by using a scythe or weapon on the tree.)

A '''stump''' is left behind after a mature tree is chopped down.  Removing the stump with an [[Axes|Axe]] yields:<ref name="stumpproducts" />

===Moss===

===Moss===

[[Moss]] is found growing on trees during all season apart from winter. [[Moss]] is on most trees during the green rain. Trees do not have to be chopped down to harvest moss. When harvesting moss use any tool on the tree once. The tree will drop 1-2 [[moss]].

[[Moss]] is found growing on [[Maple Tree]]s, [[Oak Tree]]s, [[Pine Tree]]s, and two types of [[Green Rain Trees]] during all seasons apart from Winter. Moss is on most trees during the [[Weather#GreenRain|Green Rain]] weather event. Trees do not have to be chopped down to harvest Moss; it can be harvested with one use of any tool. Each tree will drop 1-2 Moss.

===Growth Cycle===

===Growth Cycle===

Each day, there is a 5% chance that a mature tree will generate a "loose" seed.  This seed will be dropped if the player shakes the tree.  Normally the loose seed matches the mature tree species, with one exception: for the last two weeks of [[Fall]], shaking a Maple Tree produces a [[Hazelnut]] instead of a [[Maple Seed]].<ref name="fallHazelnut" /> Note that the player must reach [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Foraging Level 1]] and sleep to view the level-up screen before seeds from chopping down trees will be available. Seeds from shaking trees become available as soon as the player levels up.

Seeds from shaking trees become available as soon as the player levels up.

In addition, mature trees (including stumps) on the farm have a 15% chance each night of trying to spontaneously plant one seed in the ground.<ref name="treeDropSeed" />  One tile is randomly chosen, up to 3 tiles away from the parent tree in any direction.  The seed becomes "planted", creating a new stage 1 tree, only if the tile is a valid location for a new tree. In particular, the chosen tile must be empty; trees will not destroy paths or crops.

In particular, the chosen tile must be empty; trees will not destroy paths or crops.

Planted seeds grow through four stages before reaching maturity.  Tree seeds do not require watering, nor do they require the surrounding land to be empty (unlike [[Fruit Trees]]): the land can be fully paved; trees can be planted next to water or other features.  As long as the seed can be placed in the ground, it can grow.  The only limitation on tree seedling growth is that two mature trees cannot be side by side: a seedling will never grow past stage 4 if there is a mature tree in any of its eight adjacent tiles.

Without fertilizer, seedlings have a 20% chance each night of growing to the next stage, except at stage 4, where seedlings spend twice as long. The median growth time from seed to maturity is 24 days, although individual tree growth times will vary considerably.  Statistically, 90% of seeds should reach maturity in 38 days (excluding winter), and 99% in 55 days.
