Players can only obtain maple roots from a maple tree they have grown themselves. For this, they need level 45 Farming and a maple seed. They must plant the seed in a plant pot filled with soil, water it from a watering can, and transfer the sapling to a tree patch. After the tree has grown, they must then chop it down with an axe (to obtain maple logs), and then use a spade on the stump to dig it up. They will then receive the roots.
