Spirit Tree Patch

Spirit tree patches are a type of farming patch where players can grow their own spirit tree from a spirit sapling, created with a spirit seed. Spirit seeds are a rare and untradeable drop.

Spirit trees grow in about 58 hours and 40 minutes. Growing a spirit tree yields 19,501.3 Farming experience, which is the sum of planting (199.5 experience) and checking its health (19,301.8 experience). They cannot be cut down, but may be cleared with a spade.

Spirit trees can catch diseases while growing, like many other plants. The nearby gnome gardener can be paid to prevent this, for a payment of 5 monkey nuts, 1 monkey bar, and 1 ground suqah tooth. Given the rarity of the seed, the experience given, and the length of time it takes to mature, having a gardener tend the growing plant is strongly recommended.

Unlike other trees, spirit trees are initially limited by the player's Farming level. Players can only have one planted at 83, two at 88, three at 93, and four at 96. Upon reaching 99 Farming, the restriction is removed, and players can plant unlimited spirit trees. Temporary boosts can be used to meet these requirements. The spirit tree in a superior garden in the player-owned house does not count towards this limit. There are currently 5 patches in which spirit trees can be planted.
