🌲 Pine Tree

The Pine Tree is one of the three common wild trees in Stardew Valley, along with Maple and Oak. When chopped, it provides Wood and Pine Cones. By placing a Tapper on a mature Pine Tree, players can collect Pine Tar, which is used in crafting and bundles.

• Growth Time: 10–20 days, depending on daily growth chance
• Growth Stages: Pine Cone → Sapling → Small Tree → Full Tree
• Environment: Found throughout Stardew Valley, including the mountains, forest, and farm
• Fertilizer: Tree Fertilizer can accelerate growth

📦 Acquisition

• Chopping a Pine Tree yields Wood and Pine Cones
• Shaking a Pine Tree may drop Pine Cones
• Placing a Tapper on a mature Pine Tree produces Pine Tar every 5–6 days

📦 Uses

• Chopping yields Wood for construction and crafting
• Provides Pine Cones to plant more Pine Trees or craft Field Snacks
• Tapper product: Pine Tar, used in crafting (e.g., Loom, Rain Totem)

💡 Strategy
