Evil Tree

There are two ways to find Evil Trees. If you are in or enter the general area, at least 2 diameters of the mini-map, of an Evil Tree when it appears, then you will get hit by a tree root and say "What was that?". This will only happen once for each Evil Tree, unless you leave the area or log out. If this happens you are close to the Evil Tree, meaning that you can just check the Evil Tree spawn locations near where you are to find it. You can be affected by the roots anywhere in the area including inside banks.

Alternatively, if you have completed the Tree Gnome Village quest, then you may talk any Spirit Tree, including one grown on a Farming patch to find out when an Evil Tree is due to grow. The time the Evil Tree tells you is accurate to within 15 minutes of when the tree will appear. You will see a message like this:

Spirit Tree messages and Evil Tree time-line:

Nurturing Evil Trees:

If the Spirit Tree tell you that, that a Sapling is due "soon", then you will have to keep checking with the Spirit Tree to see if it has appeared yet. When the Evil Tree Sapling has appeared on your world, the Spirit Tree will tell you it is there. At this time, if will not teleport you directly to the Evil Tree but instead you will get a hint as to its general location. Evil Saplings will mature by themselves given time. However, if you find them at the Evil Sapling stage, then you can speed things up and get Farming XP by nurturing them. Nurturing is not required to chop or burn the Evil Tree. To nurture it simply left-click on the Evil Sapling.

Hint: You can find out which type of Evil Tree the sapling will grow into by checking the Farming XP you get from nurturing the sapling.

Killing Evil Trees:

When you arrive at the Evil Tree, it is a good idea to find out what type of tree it is and what its remaining health is. To do this right-click the tree and click "Inspect" and then "Click to continue" to find out the health of the tree. This will also show your reward %, which is the percentage of the maximum reward you can get from that Evil Tree. This will increase as you chop the Evil Tree and set fires around it. Chopping Evil Trees will give you Woodcutting level XP. If you chop the Evil Tree roots immediately around the tree as shown below you will get Evil tree kindling which can be used to burn the tree to receive Firemaking. If you get enough kindling, then it is possible to light up to 8 fires on each Evil Tree, by right-clicking the Evil Tree and selecting "light fire" or using the Evil tree Kindling on the tree.

Note: If you forgot to bring a Hatchet or Tinderbox, then ask the Tool Leprechaun nearby the Evil tree to supply you with these. But remember they will supply you with only a Bronze hatchet
