Spirit tree

Spirit trees are a gnomic method of transportation. Limited access to the network is granted upon completion of the Tree Gnome Village quest. Previously, the spirit tree in the Tree Gnome Village served as a hub, but now you may travel from any spirit tree directly to another.

The Spirit tree in the centre of Tree Gnome Stronghold is added to the network on completion of The Grand Tree. After that quest, this tree can be used without completion of Tree Gnome Village, however it will only be one way and the other trees will 'not be interested in talking'.

Spirit tree locations
Self-grown spirit tree locations (Farming only):
 * Battlefield of Khazard - just south of West Ardougne
 * The Tree Gnome Village - hub
 * The Tree Gnome Stronghold - hub (after completion of The Grand Tree, you may travel FROM it - before completion, travel to is still possible)
 * Varrock Tree- Located in the north-east corner of the Grand Exchange.
 * In south-east Etceteria.
 * Eastern-most part of Port Sarim.
 * North-eastern part of Brimhaven, near the Agility Arena.
 * Great Kourend, Hosidius house, south-east of the main bank building. Requires 35% Hosidius favour to access.

One of the fastest ways to access a spirit tree is to teleport to the Stronghold Slayer Cave with a slayer ring - the player will arrive close to the tree. If one has an Ardougne cloak, they can teleport to the Monastery and use the Khazard Battlefield tree just to the west. When the player has completed the medium Varrock diary, they can teleport to the Grand Exchange and use the spirit tree there.

The fastest way to a spirit tree is having planted one in port sarim (83 Farming) and using the Explorer's ring (2 or better) to teleport to the cabagge patch that's just a couple steps away.

Farming
Players can grow their own spirit tree from a spirit tree seed once they reach level 83 (boosts can be used) in the Farming skill on a spirit tree patch. Spirit tree patches can be found in:
 * Etceteria
 * Brimhaven
 * Port Sarim
 * Hosidius, Great Kourend

A player may grow two spirit trees at 91 farming and an unlimited number of spirit trees at 99.

The growing time for a spirit tree is about 61 hours and 20 minutes, or 2.5 days. Growing a spirit tree yields 19,501.3 Farming experience, which is the sum of planting (199.5 XP) and checking health (19,301.8 XP).

Spirit trees cannot be cut down, so one simply uses a spade on the tree to remove it. They do not yield roots when removed.

Since spirit seeds are not tradeable, players rarely encounter them. They are occasionally obtained from birds nests (including nests obtained through Managing Miscellania). It is also possible to get them as a drop from Zulrah, or the Abyssal Sire, although they are rare drops.

Payment
Spirit trees may be tended by gnome gardeners for 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.
