From Toadwater Guide

Trees are one of the first things you come across when player Toadwater, and form a central part of the game. They have a number of uses, as detailed below. There are over 50 different types of tree, each of a different level. The List of trees in the wiki shows the individual trees in their order and the Tree List on the main site shows details about the number of trees in the game, the oldest tree of each type, and the current Tree Lord.

Planting & Growing

All trees are grown from tree seeds, such as Balsam Fir growing from "Balsam Fir Seeds". Tree seeds can be planted in bare ground (without a hole -- see digging for more info), with any level of fertilization, or with bare grass.

The normal growing time for a tree varies, depending on its [tree grade] and the number of ingame days old it is. The [tree grade], or level, is shown in the first column of The Master Tree List -- see metric time for more info.

Planting Odds

The odds of a seed becoming a fully grown tree are based on your forestry skill:

( [forestry skill] * 100% ) ÷ ( 100 + ( [tree grade] * 10 ) ) 

This means that to plant Balsam Fir trees at 100%, you require a Forestry Skill of 110; for Ponderosa Pines you require a Forestry Skill of 120, etc.

The odds are doubled when planted in 100% worm- or poo-fertilized ground. The odds are tripled when planted in 100% EBP-fertilized ground.

Using

Trees have many uses. See walking for more info on what happens when you step on trees, including trees before they are fully grown.

Healing & Eating

You gain 0.1 health for every 10 days old the tree is, for each minute you stand on it (it may take longer for the first healing to happen). To ensure this "tree-healing" is applied to your health bar, it is highly recommended that you deselect your staff then reselect it.

To regain health quicker while on a tree, you can press 'e' to eat fruit from the tree. Each time you eat from the tree counts as standing on it for a minute. So a tree that is a year old will heal you 3.65 health every time you eat (and 3.65 health for each minute you stand on it as long as you deselect/reselect your staff).

Cutting

Select an axe then select an adjacent tree you would like to start cutting down. When cut down, you may obtain seeds and wood from the tree. The amount you get depends on the age of the tree, your forestry, and luck. You can (and will if your planting odds at the time of your final axe chop is at least 100%) get a maxiumum of:

• one seed per 100 days old (rounded up) the tree is
• one guaranteed piece of wood plus one piece of wood per year old the tree is

See workers for another way to cut down trees.

Other Uses

See idol, sap, and birds for more info.
