Revision 10

Trees and bushes are plantable saplings that grow into harvestable fruit or wood sources in Windrose.

Variants

A complete list of Trees and Bushes variants in Windrose is shown below, with thumbnail, build cost, and comfort bonus for each entry. Click any name to open its dedicated page.

Ground Plants

Three ground-plant species can be planted directly on plot ground anywhere a player has cleared and flattened the surface. They do not require a Seedbed, and they grow into harvestable wood and fruit sources after a fixed real-time growth window. The seeds drop from felling wild specimens of the same species in the Foothills or from chopping certain trees in the Coastal Jungle.

Seedbed Crops

Seedbed crops require a built Seedbed structure rather than open ground. The Hotfix 0.10.0.4.268 patch on April 30, 2026 added four new Seedbed variations and shipped growth-stage and harvest sound and visual effects across all crops, so the planting and harvesting cadence is now clearer than at launch. Each crop has a fixed grow time and a yield range; consult the dedicated page for current numbers.

Wild Foothills Flora

The Foothills biome hosts the bulk of the wild flora that supplies the planting loop with seeds and the building loop with raw wood. Two species in particular dominate the harvest schedule: Divi-Divi trees, which yield Hardwood when felled, and Flax Fibers bushes, which provide a renewable plant-fiber source without requiring a seedbed. The Hotfix 0.10.0.4.268 patch raised the Hardwood drop rate from Divi-Divi by twenty percent, which materially shortened the time-to-Hardwood for any player gating on it.

How Trees and Bushes Connect to Other Systems

Trees and bushes are the entry point for two long progression chains. The wood chain feeds Base Building through the building-piece recipes (logs to planks to set-specific pieces) and the cooking chain through fruit and herb inputs. The fiber chain feeds Cloth production at Tailoring stations, which in turn supplies armor and sail crafts. Players running a homestead loop will end up touching every species in this list before they reach mid-tier gear.

The Hotfix 0.10.0.4.268 patch's Seedbed additions and the Hardwood buff together pulled the early-to-mid pivot earlier in the play curve. Players who timed their first base build around the launch yield rates can typically clear the same milestones one to two real-time hours faster on the post-patch build, mostly because of the Hardwood drop change. See Farming for the full crop-rotation and harvest-pacing guide.
