Members can grow their own willow trees at level 30 Farming by planting a willow sapling in a tree patch, giving 25 experience for planting the sapling and a further 1456.5 experience when the tree is fully grown. A nearby Gardener will ask for a full basket of apples in payment for ensuring that the player’s tree does not die while growing. If buying the willow seed and apples on the Grand Exchange, it will cost about 4,978 coins per tree. After 240 minutes (four hours) the tree will be fully grown. It can be chopped as normal, and will also grow back normally when it is chopped down. Alternatively, once chopped down, it can be dug up using a spade, yielding some willow roots in the process.
Once fully grown, players can use secateurs on the tree to cut willow branches. Willow branches will only start growing on a tree after the tree's health is checked.
