Grow a tree Beta

A tree grows from a young plant through the seasons. Pause it and touch a branch: cut it, and buds break behind the cut next spring; bend it, and a copper wire holds the shape until the wood sets. Leave the wire too long and it bites.

The simulator needs JavaScript and a graphics-capable browser. Without them, the trident maple page describes how the tree grows and responds to work, and the care calendar says when to do it.

What you'll need
