Crystal tree is a skill topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2019-07-31. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Requirements

  • Growing crystal trees requires access to Prifddinas (the elf city), 74 Farming and 70+ Herblore to mix potions with the shards.1

Methods

  • To get a crystal acorn, trade Pennant, the farmer next to the crystal tree patch, a crystal seed; weapon seeds are currently far cheaper than other options at around 30k.1
  • The acorn is planted in a plant pot and watered like any sapling, then planted in the crystal tree patch, where it needs neither compost nor protection.2

Stats and numbers

  • Crystal trees take the same time to grow as a magic sapling and give 13,240 Farming XP, about 500 less than a magic tree.2
  • A fully grown crystal tree can be harvested once for 5 to 10 crystal shards.2

Tips

  • Gnomonkey describes crystal acorns as effectively profitable magic seeds that do not need to be protected and cannot become diseased.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey notes the profit will fall in the future as weapon seeds rise in price and potions fall, but says even if the trees cost money, they are incredibly cheap Farming XP; he recommends adding them to farm runs ASAP if Prifddinas is unlocked.3
  • Gnomonkey says he has not seen many people talking about crystal trees and made the short video for that reason.4
