A Spirit seed is a rare seed that members can use to grow a spirit tree at level 83 Farming, level 80 with a Garden pie or at level 79 if a stranger plant is used (Note that the stranger plant farming boost is not automatic. You must use the 'Interact' option from the follower control panel.) when planting the seed to a plant pot and the sapling to the patch. It is technically possible to plant it at level 77 farming if the player manages to get a +6 farming boost from brown Spicy stews. However, the +6 boost is extremely difficult to get, while the +5 boost is more easily obtained, so it is recommended to reach level 78 farming before attempting to boost via spicy stews.

A nearby gardener will watch over your growing spirit tree at the cost of a payment of 5 Monkey nuts, 1 Monkey bar, 1 Ground tooth

There are three spirit tree patches, one each at Port Sarim, Etceteria, and Brimhaven. However, only one spirit tree patch may be planted at one time. After completion of the quest Prisoner of Glouphrie you may plant and grow, up to two Spirit Trees with level 86 farming (82 with Stranger plant boost and 83 with Garden Pie). You need to pay each farmer separately to watch it if planting two spirit trees. Multiple spirit tree seeds may be planted in plant pots and grown into spirit tree saplings at the same time. Only one or two can be planted. Once the spirit tree is grown or dies, it can be removed and another sapling planted.

Players can buy a spirit seed from Mrs. Winkin for 55,000 Vinesweeper points. Growing a spirit tree yields only 19,501.3 Farming experience, so players desiring experience would do better to trade Vinesweeper points for 55,000 Farming experience instead. Players who have completed Royal Trouble may occasionally receive a spirit seed from managing their kingdom (workers allocated to farming). They may be obtained from Bird's nests, including nests from Miscellania and Etceteria (workers allocated to woodcutting maple or Mahogany trees).

You can also get them as a drop from a Ganodermic beast. These monsters have a relatively high drop rate of these seeds.

Players must first plant the seed in a plant pot containing soil, water it from a watering can, and then wait for the seedling to germinate. They must then plant the Spirit sapling in one of the three spirit tree patches, which are located south of the castle on Etceteria, in north-east Port Sarim, and north-east Brimhaven.

The assist system can not be used at any point to help others grow Spirit seeds although temporary farming boosts will work for this purpose.

After the quest The Prisoner of Glouphrie, Golrana wishes to learn about Spirit trees, and will offer a spirit tree seed storage (any number of seeds).

3	Some dark spots have appeared on the trees trunk, and the leaves have grown longer.
4	The tree has grown larger in all respects, and has grown more leaves.
5	The spirit tree base has widened showing some roots, and the leaves have morphed into a small canopy. Two small branches have appeared on either side of the trunk.
6	The spirit tree has grown wider in girth, but is still the same height as before. The base is larger as well.
7	The spirit tree has grown larger in all respects. The trunk is more warped towards the west, and the roots are more visible.
8	The spirit tree is larger in all respects. The trunk has grown in a 'S' shape.
9	The spirit tree has grown another knob on the trunk which will eventually become its nose. The tree is larger in all respects, and its branches are growing out to the sides more.
10	The spirit tree canopy shifts the angle its inclining towards, and its branches are almost parallel to the ground. The nose is more defined, and the tree is slightly larger.
11	The spirit tree branches are slightly angling towards the ground, and it is slightly larger than before.

TriviaEdit

• Since you can only plant a maximum of 2 spirit tree seeds currently, Golrana, having the ability to store more seeds you obtain, might hint at additional spirit tree patches in the future.
