[[File:trees preview.png|right]]Trees are a type of plant, acting as one of the most common type of flora in ''RimWorld''. They can either be native to the [[Biome]] or planted by the player in a growing zone. They are vulnerable to fire and leave behind burnt trees when burnt. Cutting them down yields [[wood]], a resource to craft weapons, make [[furniture]], feed the [[wood-fired generator]], and more. While in real life Cacti and Bamboo technically aren't trees, in RimWorld they are included in this category.

== Deterioration ==
 
Growing or healthy trees are not subject to [[deterioration]]. However, chopped (recently cut at harvestable growth) or smashed trees (destroyed by less than 20% health remaining on the tree) are subjects to deterioration depending on its remaining health.
 
  
 
== Ecosystem ==
 
== Ecosystem ==
Trees are natural food sources for [[Dendrovore]]s like [[Alphabeaver]]s and [[Thrumbo]]s.
 
  
== Farming ==
+
Trees are natural food source for [[Alphabeaver]]s and [[Thrumbo]]s.
[[File:Correct tree farming.png|thumb|right|This image shows how forbidding floor placement stops incorrect placing of trees. Form a similar pattern in a growing zone and marvel at the sudden lack of stupidity in your colonists.]]
 
  
Trees that are native to your colony's biome may be planted once [[Research#Tree sowing|tree sowing]] has been researched by growers with a Plants skill of 6+. However, growing Cocoa trees requires further research and may be planted by growers with a Plants skill of 8+. Trees are different from other crops in that they require at least a one tile distance from other crops as well as each other, including wild trees. Farmers will automatically cut wild trees for this. Native trees are immune to blight, but cocoa trees are not.
 
  
Trees may not be grown under roofs. This means that trees may not be grown in completely closed greenhouses. They may only be grown in greenhouses with roofs open in a grid pattern, that leak a lot of temperature-controlled air.
+
== Harvest ==
  
Un-managed colonist have a very annoying habit of planting trees in very inefficient patterns, drastically and unnecessarily reducing yield. However, there are ways to stop this without constant micromanagement. Methods include:
+
At 40% growth it is possible to obtain 50% of their coveted yield. Cacti can be cut at 20%. Note that the Growth Time in the below table assumes 24hr growth. Trees don't grow between 19h and 6h. Also note that environmental factors such as temperature and light levels further negatively influence growth speed.
* Make a pattern of 1 tile grow [[zone]]s, which then all can be selected with a doubleclick and easily managed
 
* Forbidding building (typically [[floor]]ing, but any will work) (see image, right)
 
* Pave walkways, which makes designating 1 tile grow zones easier and helps with [[cleanliness]] and walk speed
 
* Build a [[roof]] with 1 tile holes on top of nearby columns or walls
 
  
 
== Temperature ==
 
== Temperature ==
Trees are able to grow in the temperature range {{Temperature|0|58}}. If the ambient temperature drops below freezing, trees will cease to grow until they return to their comfortable range again (including Pine trees that are native to cold biomes). Some trees will instantaneously shed ''all'' of their leaves at {{Temperature|-2}}, while sturdier specimens will hold out until {{Temperature|-10}}.{{Check Tag|Which trees?}} This range differs from tree to individual tree. If the temperature remains at a comfortable level for at least a day, their leaves will magically reappear.

Note that environmental factors such as temperature and light levels further negatively influence growth speed.
 
  
Upon chopping the tree or cacti down, it leaves behind a stump which will deteriorate into nothing after a few days unless set to chop.
+
If the ambient temperature drops below freezing, trees will cease to grow until back into their comfortable range again (including Pine trees that are native to cold biomes). Some trees will instantaneously shed  ''all'' of their leaves at -2°C, sturdier specimens will hold out until -10°C. This range differs from tree to individual tree. If the temperature remains at a comfortable level for at least a day, their leaves will magically reappear.
  
== Cover ==
+
== Trivia ==
Trees can be used for cover in combat. Most trees provide 25% cover, except:
 
* [[Burned stump]]s only provide 20% cover
 
* [[Saguaro cactus|Saguaro cacti]] provide 35% cover
 
  
== Comparison table ==
+
Burnt trees.
'''Note''' that while the [[bonsai tree]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, [[cocoa tree]], and [[gauranlen tree]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, are listed below as not native to a number of [[biomes]], they can all be sown in all biomes except Sea Ice. Bonsai trees can be sown in any biome via the use of a [[bonsai pot]].{{IdeologyIcon}}
+
Trees can be used for cover.
  
Also note that [[fibercorn]] is not a tree, but is provided for comparison as another wood producer.

== Version history ==
 
* [[Version/0.10.785|0.10.785]] - No longer sowable. Change reverted in A10B of same update. A10C increase sowing time.
 
* Beta 19/ 1.0 - Trees’ color now depends on the current season. Sowing trees now takes 8x longer. Can now only sow trees which grow naturally in the local biome, including saguaro cactus. Reduced all tree-type plant’s max hit points by to 66% of old values.
