The sapling will remain in this stage for a short period.

After some time, it will grow into a young tree.
Stage 3: Mature White Tree
Finally, after a few hours of growth, it will become a fully grown white tree, ready for harvesting.

Harvesting white trees provides various benefits:

Woodcutting Experience: Chopping down a mature white tree grants players a significant amount of woodcutting experience, making it an excellent choice for training this skill.
White Logs: Players will receive white logs upon chopping down a mature white tree, which can be used for various purposes, including crafting and building.
Farming Experience: Successfully growing and harvesting white trees contributes to the player’s farming experience, further enhancing their farming level.

Strategies for Efficient Farming

To maximize the efficiency of growing and harvesting white trees, consider the following strategies:

Weather Conditions: Poor weather may affect growth. Players should plant trees in favorable in-game weather conditions whenever possible.
Low Farming Level: If players lack the required farming level to plant or tend to white trees, they should focus on improving their farming skill through easier crops.
