How To Get Trees in Islands Roblox: A Comprehensive Guide

Getting trees in Roblox Islands is a fundamental part of the game, essential for resource gathering and island aesthetics. The process involves obtaining saplings, planting them, and understanding the mechanics of tree growth. Here’s a thorough guide on how to acquire various trees on your island in Roblox.

Initial Tree Acquisition and Variety

Starting Out

When you first begin playing Islands, or when you reset your island, you’ll receive one random fruit tree sapling. It’s important to note that this initial sapling will not be an Avocado Tree, Kiwi Tree, or Plum Tree. This ensures a diversity of common fruit trees from the get-go.

Getting Additional Trees

There are several ways to expand your tree collection beyond the initial sapling:

• Harvesting Fruit: Harvesting fruit from existing fruit trees gives you a chance to receive an additional sapling. It is crucial that you harvest the fruit without destroying the tree itself to trigger this sapling drop. The rate of getting a sapling this way is not guaranteed, but it’s a passive way to acquire more trees over time.
• Trading: You can trade with other players to acquire different types of trees, particularly those that you may not be able to get on your own. This is a good option for players wanting specific trees or a large variety.
• Purchasing Saplings: Some tree saplings are available for purchase. The Avocado Tree and Plum Tree saplings can be bought from the Seeds Merchant in the Hub, for 8000 and 14,000 coins respectively.
• Event Trees: Certain unique trees are available during in-game events. The Palm Tree was the first event tree and is obtained by harvesting coconuts during certain events like the Godzilla vs. Kong event, with a 3% chance of a sapling dropping.
• Specific Tree Drops: Trees like Apple Trees and Palm Trees have a 3% chance of dropping a sapling when you harvest their respective fruits (apples or coconuts).
• Special Event Saplings: The Cherry Blossom Tree, for instance, can be obtained from red envelopes during special events, with a 25% chance of a sapling dropping.

Planting and Growing Trees

Planting Conditions

Once you have a sapling, you’ll need the right conditions to grow it.

• Grass Requirement: Most tree saplings must be planted on grass. The game will not allow a sapling to grow if placed on other surfaces.
• Space Requirement: Ensure that there is enough space for the tree to grow to its full size. Trees will not grow if there are obstructions close to the planting area.
• Palm Tree Exception: The Palm Tree is unique in that it can grow both on grass and sand, which makes it suitable for seaside island expansions.

Tree Growth

• Growth Time: The growth time varies for different trees. For example, Apple Trees take 1 minute and 50 seconds to grow, while Cherry Blossom Trees take 90 seconds. Plum Trees take 1 minute and 35 seconds.
• Stump Removal: After cutting down a tree for wood, you must remove the tree stump before another tree can grow in that spot. Failure to remove the stump will prevent new tree growth.

Factors Affecting Growth

• Ground Clutter: Ensure there aren’t excessive resources or gift boxes lying around the planting area. Cluttered ground can interfere with tree growth. Keeping a clean island environment encourages faster and more successful tree growth.

Harvesting and Resources

Wood Acquisition

• Chopping Trees: Chopping down any fruit tree, including oak trees, will drop 3-4 oak wood and the tree’s respective sapling.
• Best Tools: Using the correct tools can significantly enhance the efficiency of wood acquisition. The Void Mattock is currently the best tool for both Mining and Woodcutting. The tool’s speed increases as your Mining or Woodcutting skill improves.

Fruit Acquisition

• Seasonal Growth: Many fruits grow seasonally, and you can obtain them by harvesting the fruit from the tree.
• Multiple Fruits: For example, Apple Trees can have up to three apples at a time. Harvesting apples also gives the player Farming XP.

Selling Resources

• Trading with NPCs: All types of wood can be sold to John in the Hub for coins. This provides a reliable source of income from your wood resources.
