Apple tree

Apple trees are Farming plants grown at level 27 Farming. An apple tree is grown by planting an apple seed in a filled plant pot. A gardening trowel is needed to plant the seed, then it must be watered. The potted plant will become an apple seedling.

After 5 minutes or less, the planted seed will become an apple tree sapling and can then be transferred to a fruit tree patch. The fruit tree patch must be raked clean of weeds. Compost, supercompost or ultracompost may be added prior to planting, and once planted (using a spade and trowel), the nearby farmer may be paid to watch over your tree. Payment is 9 sweetcorn (not cooked) and optionally may be noted to save you space. If this tree becomes diseased, using secateurs or magic secateurs on it to prune the diseased leaves will bring it back to a healthy state.

An apple tree sapling may take fourteen or more hours to mature. An amulet of nature may be bound to the patch to provide progress on its growth. Once mature, the tree produces up to six cooking apples at a time.

A healthy apple tree, when checked, provides 1221.5 farming experience. If the farmer does not watch the tree, then disease on the tree may be removed using secateurs. However, if left alone, the diseased tree will die. If buying the apple tree seed and sweetcorn on the Grand Exchange, it will cost around 806 coins per tree, assuming one pays a gardener. Ironmen may pick sweetcorn from fields in Kastori and note them with the Tool Leprechaun at the fruit tree patch.

Each apple, when picked, gives 8.5 farming experience. Once all 6 apples have been picked, the tree will slowly produce more apples until all 6 are available again. However, the apples may be picked any time they show on the tree.

• While most dead trees lack any leaves, dead apple trees seem to have a full canopy.
• While apple trees that die in one of the first four growth stages seem to have identical models to the stage they died in, apple trees that die in stage 5 seem to take on a model of a tree in stage 6 with a darker coloured bark.
