I have farm plot set on tree saplings. That farm plot seems to produce alot of saplings. I now have plenty tree saplings. How do I grow trees?
Thanks

You sing soft a lullaby to the tree, projecting goodwill and happiness, or read books to them, according to some people.
Realistically speaking though, a sapling is a baby tree, so while I have not made a tree farm myself, I'd say it's a safe bet that the answer is to wait.
Edit: Apparently a sapling is an item as well as a baby tree, I still advocate goodwill and happiness though.

You need to cut the saplings at the Sawmill to turn them into wood.

Aha.. thanks

I couldnt do real trees in farms, so I made fake plants, made them look like trees and called th saplings.. and yes, the sawmill is the correct place to cut them into logs.

I prefer the dwarf fortress way of exploiting the babies who otherwise are a drain upon society.

what about wood stalks?

Whoa whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I said goodwill and happiness to your crops if it makes them grow faster. Nobody is advocating humane treatment of dwarf children here.

What are you saying using dwarven babies/children for shields/weapons/research/bait/as clockwork isn't humane? I think you been hanging with elves too much.
