🍁 Maple Tree

The Maple Tree is one of the three common wild trees in Stardew Valley, alongside Oak and Pine. When chopped down, it provides Wood and Maple Seeds. By placing a Tapper on a fully grown Maple Tree, players can harvest Maple Syrup, which is used in bundles, cooking, and crafting.

⏱ Growth & Stages

• Growth Time: Varies (about 10–20 days)
• Growth Stages: Seed → Sapling → Small Tree → Full Tree
• Environment: Found throughout Stardew Valley, on the farm, and can be planted from Maple Seeds
• Fertilizer: Tree Fertilizer can speed up growth

📦 Acquisition

• Chopping grown Maple Trees yields Wood and Maple Seeds
• Occasionally drops Maple Seeds when shaking the tree
• Maple Syrup obtained by placing a Tapper on a mature tree

📦 Uses

• Chopping yields Wood for construction and crafting
• Provides Maple Syrup via Tapper (every 9 days)
• Maple Syrup is required in the Community Center (Chef’s Bundle)
• Maple Seeds can be eaten, crafted into Field Snacks, or planted to grow more trees
• Wood from Maple Trees is essential for building farm structures

💡 Strategy

• Maple Syrup sells for more than Oak Resin or Pine Tar, making it a profitable tapper product.
• Keep some Maple Syrup for crafting the Bee House and other useful items.
• Plant Maple Seeds close together in a designated grove for efficient tapping.
