Grass Tree

Grass Tree is a plant that naturally grows throughout the Plains. Once chopped down, it does not respawn in the wild, so any trees removed from an area are permanently gone unless new ones are grown from seed.

A Grass Tree can be cut down with a Basic Axe or any better axe. When harvested, it drops Spinifex Tuft and can also drop a Grass Tree Seed Pod. The seed pod’s description hints that it needs fire; placing it on a Camp Fire causes it to pop open and yield 3 Grass Tree Seeds.

Those seeds can be planted in any biome, as long as they are buried in dirt or sand. A newly planted Grass Tree takes 5 days to reach full height, making it a reliable way to reintroduce the plant after harvesting. The Plant Book can be used on the tree to check its maturity while it is growing; once the tree is fully grown, the book no longer displays data for it.

Because Grass Trees do not naturally regrow after being chopped, seed pods are the main way to maintain a supply. This makes it useful to save at least one seed pod from a harvest rather than immediately using every tree for wood and Spinifex Tuft. Growing them in a controlled area also makes it easier to keep a nearby source of seeds for future planting.
