Changing tree in yard

How do you change the tree you planted in your yard? If you don't interact with it, how long does it take to die?

  • I believe you need to poison it or have someone else do it. It takes a bit of time for it to die(a few mins or so), and then you need a hatchet to clear it.

    It takes a certain skill level or skill set to use tree poison. I still haven't gotten it yet. Botany I think.

  • Yeah you gotta have botany to use tree poison... if you don't have it, try finding someone nice enough to do it for you. I would but sadly, I don't have botany yet.

  • Before the reset I needed one poisoned in my yard.
    I had to get someone to do it because I didnt have the skill yet.
    I had to stop watching while it died.  it was terrible.  the tree called for help.
    I shudder now just thinking about it.
    but at least I learned to plant something other than fruit and bean trees in my yard in the middle of Groddle Forest. duh!

    We need a transplanting service. Stop the tree killing!! Bean trees have feelings too!

  • I can poison the tree for you. Send me a message if you'd like me to drop by. I'll pick up some poison on the way over.

    I agree with bludwaggie that we need an alternative to killing trees. I had a hard time killing one of mine when I wanted to replace it with a wood tree.

  • I can kill trees too. Just let me know if you need my assistance. I'd be happy to help.

  • Thanks, Papernaut & Eye Wonder.  I don't really know what tree I want in there yet.  I planted a Bean tree.  I'm not sure what I was thinking.  :P

    Maybe the Devs will do something and doesn't require us to poison them.

  • I've just poisoned three of the 4 trees in my back yard for the 'Bean there, done that' quest where you have to plant three seasoned beans. Last time I looked there wasn't a single empty patch in Ur and the only time I come across them someone is in the process of planting in them (presumably having just cleared the previous tree) so I figured I'd have to kill three of my own so that I could plant three new ones.

    I hated poisoning the trees. It made me feel really bad seeing the spinning death thingies and then the way they look when they've died - ugh, horrible! I really don't understand how people can go round killing trees to replace them with a different type all the time...

    Now I wish I'd offered to go and plant trees in the backyards of people who've just bought houses. Unfortunately that only just occurred to me... Actually, I have a couple of spare bean tree beans, so let me know if you'd like one planting, in memory of my dead trees!

  • Try going for the badge to clear 1009 dead trees when feeling awful about poisoning x.x

  • I have a gas plant bean and some tree poison if anyone needs it. I tried planting my gas plant somewhere but something said no... but it let me plant a wood tree bean....anyway. I have botany and am willing to help

  • I like to think of the different kinds of trees as collective consciousnesses, so that if you kill one Bubble Tree, for example, it's more like cutting off one branch rather than killing an entire living being. This theory is supported by some of the tree dialogue referencing "Beany" or "Eggy" or whatever, as if all Bean Trees are one individual.

    And that's how I justify poisoning trees.

  • I have Botany. I can do it if you need it. xD But, I'm trying to find a paper tree. Never seen one. :c

  • @Akl292 There has always one in East Spice and one on Scribe's Weald in Groddle forest which is somewhere people often miss. According to Zog's Glitchy Tools (http://zoggish.appspot.com/find-paper-tree/#) they are still there. You might not always notice them as they rarely have paper on in busy areas until you pet/water. A good place to find healthy ones is in the ancestral lands.

  • Paper trees are permanent and unplantable.
    The one in East Spice disappeared once for a few hours (not killed, as there was no patch where it had been), but they brought it back.

    There are several in the Ancestral Lands, but otherwise only one per zone.
