====== Wood Tree Yield ======

---

===== Log Study =====

* A full log is 24kg.  A partial log is less than 24kg.
* A tree with a sprout will produce more wood.

==== Wood Tree ====

^ Age ^ Can Sprout? ^ Sprouted? ^ Log Yield ^
| Young | No | - | 1 partial log (1.6kg, 3.2kg or 4.8kg) |
| Mature | No | - | 1 partial log (11.2kg) |
| Old | Yes | No | 4 logs (96kg) and 1 partial log (10.67kg) |
| Old | Yes | Yes | 5 logs (120kg) |
| Old | Yes | Yes | 5 logs (120kg), 1 partial log (13.33kg) |
| Old | Yes | Yes | 6 logs (144kg), 1 partial log (2.67kg) |
| Very Old | Yes | No | 6 logs (144kg), 1 partial log (16kg) |
| Very Old | Yes | Yes | 7 logs (168kg), 1 partial log (5kg) |
| Overaged | No | - | 7 logs (168kg), 1 partial log (18.67kg) | 
| Shriveled | No | - | 1 partial log (4.8kg) |

==== Fruit Tree ====

^ Age ^ Can Sprout? ^ Sprouted? ^ Yield ^
| Young | No | - | Wood Scrap |
| Mature | No | - | 1 partial log (2kg or 2.4kg) |
| Old | Yes | No | 1 partial log (3.2kg) |
| Old | Yes | Yes |1 partial log (3.6kg or 4kg) |
| Very Old | Yes | No | 1 partial log (4.8kg) |
| Very Old | Yes | Yes | 1 partial log (5.2kg) |
| Overaged | No | - | 1 partial log (5.6kg) |
| Shriveled | No | - | Wood scrap |

==== Conclusion ====

=== Wood Tree ====

* To maximize yield, cut down Old, Very Old and Overaged trees.
* Old and Very Old trees with sprouts have the highest yield of those ages (Old and Very Old).
* Although Overaged trees cannot sprout they have the highest yield overall.

=== Fruit Tree ====

* I do not recommend relying on fruit trees for wood, but if you insist on struggling...
* To maximize yield, cut down Very Old and Overaged trees.


===== Quality Study =====

In order to test a best-case scenario for quality, I performed a study.

==== Variables ====

* 99.87 Woodcutting skill
* Fantastic 100ql hatchet with Wind of Ages (113), Efficiency (113), Titanforged (113), Circle of Cunning (113) and a bronze rune of Libila (10% higher quality resources gathered).  Note, this is a [[subrw|sub reward]] tool.
* 18x26 cedar forest or 468 tiles

==== Results ====

These results include all logs gathered, whether chopped from felled trees or single logs that appeared instead of a felled tree.  All logs were counted whether they were full (24kg) logs or partial logs.  Your results will vary based on tree age and how many have sprouts.

^ Trees:  176, Total Yield: 1009 logs ^^^
^ Quality ^ Number of Logs ^ Percent Yield ^
| 100 | 46 | 4.459% |
| 90 | 308 | 30.525% |
| 80 | 297 | 29.435% |
| 70 | 215 | 21.308% |
| 60 | 85 | 8.424% |
| 50 | 59 | 5.847% |

===== Notes =====

* Regarding the fruit tree table, I am unsure whether the 4kg fruit tree log is from a sprouted tree or not.  I pulled this info from Wurmpedia and it isn't exactly clear.  Testing would have to be done.  I made an assumption that it indeed comes from a sprout until I can test it to verify.

* Pruning a tree takes it back to the beginning stage of Very Old.  You can prune a tree if it is near the end of the first Very Old stage.
