'''Trees''' that do not yield fruit are of two types: common, and special. Full-grown common trees yield [[sap]] when [[Tapping|tapped]], or [[wood]] when felled by an [[axe]]. Felling leaves behind a tree stump, which can also be harvested by an axe for a smaller amount of wood. After you acquire the [[Skills#Foraging|Foraging 1]] skill, felling also produces some of the tree's own seed. A properly planted seed normally takes 10 to 12 days to mature, though a tree does not grow in winter. Special trees have some other unique properties. If you cut down trees that are not on your farm, the trees wil grow back without the need to put a seed down.

After you acquire the [[Skills#Foraging|Foraging 1]] skill, felling also produces some of the tree's own seed. A properly planted seed has approximately a 20% chance of growing to the next stage each day, though a tree does not grow in winter. Special trees have some other unique properties.

Thus, it is generally useful to clear the land of a stump to make it available for any planting, which also requires new seed.

For maximum growth (in 10-12 days), common tree seeds are best planted in an area that is clear within a two-tile radius (at the center of a 5x5 square of tiles). If other objects occupy the outer ring of the square, the growth rate is reduced. If another tree is adjacent to a seed, it will not grow beyond a sapling. During the winter season, seeds do not sprout and there is no tree growth.

Once a tree is fully grown, its surrounding area can be paved without ill effects, although the paving will prevent the tree from dropping seeds.
