Across the [[world]], '''trees''' can be found littering the landscape. Depending on the [[biome]] (i.e., whether trees are scarce or dense), they can be a great renewable source of [[wood]]. There are many different varieties that grow in different [[biomes]]. [[Tower-cap]]s grow only underground, every other variety occurs only outdoors. The only difference between trees is the (usually very minor) weight difference of the wood they produce; otherwise all trees are of equal usefulness and value.

Trees are currently{{version|0.28.181.40d}} not a source of food or other material, so it is not possible to harvest mangos, maple syrup, nuts, rubber, etc.

''Trees'' are a type of [[map tile]], not [[construction]]s, similar to solid [[rock]] or [[bush]]es. They must be designated for removal from the [[designations|{{Key|d}}esignations menu]] chop {{k|t}}rees, which will instruct [[dwarves]] with the [[woodcutter]] skill to grab an [[axe]] and begin chopping down the tree. Once cut down, they become one unit of [[wood]], which is movable and can be hauled by enabling the the Haul Wood labour on any dwarf and designating a wood [[stockpile]].

Trees viewed from one z-level higher look like coloured rectangles or [[stone]] [[block]]s floating in the air. Deciduous trees will change colour to red or yellow in [[autumn]], and lose their leaves in [[winter]]: {{tile|╞|#770}}. This does not affect their usefulness - they may be cut down in any season.

Trees grow from saplings, which start growing randomly on tiles of a suitable biome. Saplings can be destroyed by heavy [[traffic]]. To grow from a sapling to a tree takes about a year and a half. A map can be stripped of all trees and saplings will still regrow.

Trees ''will not'' as of yet be destroyed by [[magma]] or [[fire]] (nor will [[water]] damage them in any way). Saplings can 'drown' in [[water]] and [[magma]], though. [[Ballista]] arrows can destroy trees, but [[catapult]] stones will not.

Trees (but not saplings) will block [[channel]]ing, and [[wall]]s and other [[construction]]s.

Trees also gain names near [[elf|elven]] settlements. It is unclear what effect this has on gameplay, if any at all.
