# Trees maturity

Every tree you plant has a maturity level, starting from a seed. It'll take some time for your tree to grow and reach its full potential, but don't worry, *you're in control*!

There are four levels of maturity for your trees: **seed**, **sapling**, **young tree**, and **mature tree**. Each level brings with it new behaviors and opportunities for you to help your tree grow.

When your tree is just a seed, there's not much you need to do, just sit back and watch it grow. But as it becomes a sapling, it starts to generate a small $PF for you. As it grows into a young tree, game rewards will increase to a moderate amount. And when it finally reaches maturity, you'll have the opportunity to harvest its sap and even reproduce it.
