Information
Seed	Pine Cone
Tapper Product	Pine Tar
Growth Time	Variable

A Pine Tree is a type of Tree. It grows from a Pine Cone. A planted Pine Cone grows through four stages before reaching maturity, with an approximate 20% chance of growing to the next stage each day, although Pine Trees do not grow in Winter. The median time to maturity is about 18 days, with over 90% of seeds maturing in fewer than 32 growing days. A stage 4 sapling will not grow to maturity while a mature tree is in an immediately adjacent tile, but otherwise, unlike Fruit Trees, the growth of a Pine Tree will not be affected by the contents of any adjacent tile.

Pine Trees outside the farm (except in Pelican Town) can be chopped down or tapped. These trees will respawn as Stage 3 saplings (20% chance each day) and grow as normal after that, as long as the stump is removed.

When tapped, it yields Pine Tar.

Bugs

• Chopping a stage 2–3 sapling with an axe has a chance to drop one wood, depending on your forage level. This doesn't happen when cutting it with a scythe.

History

• 1.4: Fixed bug that caused a stage 2-3 sapling to make a scythe sound when watered. Fixed bug that prevented trees from dropping seeds and seeds disappearing when harvested if a Foraging level up occured during the day. Planting tree seeds outside the farm no longer requires the spot to be tilled. (This also prevents planting in non-tillable areas dug up by Artifact Spots in Winter).
