A maple tree is an amber-coloured tree that require level 45 Woodcutting to cut, granting 100 Woodcutting experience for each set of maple logs received. Maple trees have moderately high cut difficulty and maple logs only have moderate value, making cutting maple trees unfavourable for money making. Maple trees can be cut as an AFK Woodcutting training method for F2P players. Completion of the Medium Kandarin Diary give players 10% additional experience when cutting Maple trees in Seers' Village, granting 110 Woodcutting experience per log received.

Tree locations[edit | edit source]
Maple trees are considered rare trees for the purpose of the rare trees minimap icon (
). The trees are shown on the World Map and Minimap as an amber tree . The rare tree icon is shared with several other trees, so the icon does not necessarily mean it is a maple tree. The amber tree image is primarily used for maple trees, so an amber tree on the map is likely a maple tree.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]
A maple tree will fell after 100 ticks (60 seconds) of chopping; the depletion timer regenerates if players stop cutting the tree before it is fully chopped. Once felled, it will take 59 ticks (35.4 seconds) to respawn.
A roll to receive a log is done every 4 game ticks when chopping. The chance to successfully chop is affected by the axe used and Woodcutting level: better axes and a higher woodcutting level increases the likelihood of successfully receiving a log.
Cut chance[edit | edit source]
Additional drops[edit | edit source]
- Beaver – Maple trees have a chance to drop the beaver Woodcutting pet. At level 45 Woodcutting there is a 1 in 220,793 chance to receive the beaver and a 1 in 219,443 chance at level 99.
- Bird nest – There is 1 in 256 chance to drop from maple trees. The bird nest will be dropped on the ground and will despawn after 2 minutes if not picked up. The bird nest will be given in place of logs.
- Clue nest – Maple trees have a chance of dropping any tier of clue nest, based on Woodcutting level, the tree's base chance, and access to the reward tiers of Combat Achievements. See Clue nest § Woodcutting rates for a detailed breakdown.
Farming[edit | edit source]
With level 45 farming, maple seeds may be grown into a Maple tree, which gives maple logs when cut down. Checking on a fully grown and healthy maple tree will give 3403.4 Farming experience. It takes 5 hours and 20 minutes to grow. When cut down, the tree will automatically regrow after a period of time. Alternatively, it can be dug up using a spade, yielding some maple roots in the process. A player may also pay one basket of oranges to a nearby farmer to guarantee its growth.
Lore[edit | edit source]
There are several mentions of Maple by NPCs around Gielinor as well as in books. The following text is transcluded from Gielinor's flora - trees. The information found within the book is more often than not just flavour text, and does not reflect their properties or uses within the game itself.
A common amber-coloured tree found through the world. They produce distinctive seeds called maple keys. These seeds are attached to a flattened wing, made of papery lightweight tissue. As a result of this ingenious adaptation, they spin and catch the wind as they fall, allowing them to travel a considerable distance. Maple is considered a tonewood and produces excellent musical clarity and as such such is used in numerous musical instruments.
