Three varieties of common trees grow on [[The Farm]] and within Stardew Valley. Their sap may be used to produce [[Maple Syrup]], [[Pine Tar]], or [[Oak Resin]] via a [[Tapper]], and their [[Wood]] has many uses, including [[Crafting]] and building construction/upgrades.

Trees can be felled by chopping them repeatedly with an [[Axes|axe]]. Trees always fall left or right on the opposite side from the player (if applicable), and produce wood or seeds in that direction.  When chopped from above, the tree will fall to the left, while chopping from below will cause it to fall to the right.  If the tree falls into or near water, the items it drops may disappear into the water. Rings like the [[Magnet Ring]] are very useful when chopping trees, as they allow the player to pick up items within a wider radius, reducing the need to cut obstacles to get to the fallen wood. Once cut down, trees don't regrow on [[The Farm|the farm]] even if you leave the stump, however seeds can spawn around stumps.

Once per day, each tree or seed has a 20% chance of growing if it's not already fully-grown, and the season isn't [[winter]] (or it's in the [[Greenhouse]]). The tree won't reach full growth if there's a fully-grown non-fruit tree within its 3×3 grid, though it'll still grow to the sapling stage (Stage 4). The median growth time to maturity should be about 18 days, though actual growth times can vary considerably. Statistically, less than 10% of seeds take more than 31 days to reach maturity and less than 1% take more than 46 days.
