Farming Question +Rep

[deagle]

How many times can I check the health of a banana tree? How many times between each time?

And what is the growth interval? (The Time)

[Dynamical]

You can only check health of a tree once, after that all you can do is get the picking exp. Initial growth average for fruit trees is around 15 hours I think.

[deagle]

Does it get sick? And +rep for that.

[Dynamical]

I think they can get disease or something, I always leave trees under the care of nearby farmers since they take a while. Saves lots of checking on them.

[lew!]

yes, they can get desiesed [sp?] But you can buy an item, I forget what its called to cure it. I think its in a vial though.

And yeah, Pay the farmer to look after your crops.. Will save a lot of time checking on your crop.

[DJ-Vimto]

though whether or not you should pay the nearby farmer to look after it will depend on what you are doing while the tree is growing.

i tend to do fishing in catherby whenever i have farming to do, that way i can just run round to the farming patch once in a while to check on my crops, harvest them, replant etc.

anyway, on topic..

you only check the health of a fruit tree once, and if you arent using supercompost there is a chance it can get diseased. though a vial of plant cure will sort that out.

i know an apple tree takes about 14 hours to fully grow...so you should expect a banana tree to take a bit longer.

once you have picked the fruit, you can either chop down the tree, or leave it to produce more fruit (which will take a couple of hours) though unless you have more fruit tree seeds id recommend leaving the tree as it is, because it will not get diseased or anythin
