Orange Tree (Locus Oasis)
The Orange Tree is a special type of tree located in the Locus Oasis, a serene and beautiful area nestled within the Kharidian Desert. This oasis offers a lush contrast to the surrounding desert landscape, making it a popular spot for players looking to engage in various activities.
To access the Orange Tree, players must explore the Locus Oasis, which requires completion of certain quests for entry. The oasis is also home to various other resources, such as cacti and the unique palm trees that thrive in this environment.
Players can interact with the Orange Tree by planting orange tree seeds, which can be obtained from various sources, including monster drops or purchased from the Grand Exchange. Once planted, the seeds will require nurturing through regular watering and care, which will ultimately lead to the tree bearing fruit.
Growth Stages
The Orange Tree undergoes several growth stages:
- Seedling: After planting an orange tree seed, it will begin as a small sapling.
- Young tree: The sapling will grow into a young tree, which can be recognized by its small height.
- Mature tree: With adequate care and time, the tree will mature, becoming taller and healthier.
- Fruit-bearing tree: Finally, the mature orange tree will begin to produce fresh oranges that players can harvest.
Harvesting
When the Orange Tree reaches the fruit-bearing stage, players can harvest oranges from it. The fruits can be consumed for sustenance or used in various cooking recipes, offering a source of food that restores health during adventures.
Caring for the Orange Tree
To ensure optimal growth and fruit production, players must regularly water the Orange Tree. This can be done using a watering can or the water spells, depending on the player’s magic level. Failing to water the tree will halt its growth and may negatively impact fruit yield.
Benefits and Uses
