Farming Guide V5

Huge thanks to everyone for providing feedback, especially Hypollita who's been patiently reviewing my earlier efforts. Feedback is appreciated, just post a comment!

Run 1: Slow growers
Take with: Ring of Dueling. 5 Tree Saplings. 4 Fruit Tree Saplings. Farmers Payments. Axe. Runes for Home tele. Tinderbox.

This should get you to every tree, fruit tree, calquats, and cactus.

Optional: Tele to Trollheim and plant herbs (70 minutes).
Start out in Varrock planting a Tree (T).
Run to the Spirit Tree NE of town.
Go to Gnome Tree Maze
Plant Fruit Tree (FT)S
Spirit Tree to Gnome Tree Stronghold
Plant Fruit Tree (FT)
Plant Regular Tree (T) (Bank is right over the planting spot)
Ring of Dueling or Run to CW (Bank) OR Hot Air Balloon From Grand Tree
Hot Air Balloon to Taverly to plant Tree (T)
Run to Falador to Plant (T) (Bank)
Home tele to Lumbridge
Plant Tree (T)
Ring of Dueling or Run to Al-Kharid
Plant Cactus
Tele to Catherby (Bank)
Plant Fruit Tree in Catherby
Tele to POH (or take a boat from Ardy or Charter from Catherby)
Brimhaven (FT)
Take cart to Shilo if you want to plant Calquats

Hints:
Keep in mind that you can pay the farmer 200gp to cut down the tree for you. I just burn them with my tinderbox if I run out of space.

You can switch the last two stops to Brimhaven then Catherby. If you are going to use the Run 2 immediately afterwards then Catherby should be your last stop.
Otherwise, I’ve been using Brimhaven so I can use my POH to get to my next activity.

If you have oaks/willows which are relatively fast growers plant them in Falador and Lumbridge and check on them as you make your allotment runs. Plant the slowest growing regular trees in Varrock and Tree Gnome.

I try to use only one kind of tree & one kind of fruit tree. That way all the farmer payments take up only 2 spaces and I take them all out at the beginning of the run. Most of the time though that's a luxury and I just go with what's on hand.

If you don’t have “new” trees to plant you’ll still want to pick the fruit off your existing trees. You get a little bit of XP and you’ll need the fruits for farmer payments. (You could do a circuit of Spirit Trees Varrock>Tree Gnome Village>Tree Gnome Stronghold>Tele to Brim and pick fruits a couple times a day. Relatively fast and can be squeezed in after a round 3 run)

Run 2: Fast Growers

This will hit all the allotments, Trollheim, mushrooms, belladonna, 4 bushes, and 4 hops patches.

Run 3: 70 minute or less cycle (removes bushes)-Remember, herbs take 70 minutes to grow so don't hit Catherby until it's been at least 70 minutes or you'll find yourself waiting.

If you do this route you’ll have time at the end to make a circuit of all your fruit trees. Not the best farming xp but you’ll need the fruit for farmer payments and the like. Especially things like papayas and coconuts which can only be farmed.

(You could do a circuit of Spirit Trees Varrock>Tree Gnome Village>Tree Gnome Stronghold>Tele to Brim)
