Tree Growth Stages

[Etherdrifter 2,518]

Something I've always meant to do was to grow a tree from planted to overaged using wild growth.

 

Thanks to the donated cordage from Hedgeknight and the helping hands of Muhyul I finally managed this ambition.

 

The tree I chose was oak since everyone needs oak logs.  Here are the results (and some observations).

 

 

Each growth stage resets grass length.

 

Picking a sprout takes a tree back one stage.  Prune takes it back 2.

Tree (Oak) Growth Stages

1st stage, planted (young)
+1 (young)
+1 (young)
+1 (young)

5th stage (Mature)
+1 (Mature)
+1 (Mature)
+1 (Mature, Sprout)

9th stage (Old)
+1 (Old, Sprout)
+1 (Old)
+1 (Old, Sprout)

13th stage (Very Old)
+1 (Very Old, Sprout)

15th stage (Overaged)

16th stage (Withered)

 

 

Would anyone be willing to attempt this with pine to see if there is a different in the number of growth stages?  I don't suspect there will be (oaks will likely have rarer ticks) but it is good to check.  Also a similar test for bushes would be welcome.

It's the same for all plants.

it's always good to hear confirmation on the wiki info

Prune takes the tree back to very old. You can prune a "very old, sprouting" and it will take the tree to very old. This is a -2 step if its overaged but its a -1 step if it's very old, sprouting.

 

I did the same experiment with FO and wild growth. I think I used rose bushes.
