Hardwood drops from the pink cherry blossom trees on Sakurajima Island, and the easiest farm is the Sakura grove around Secluded Cemetery at roughly -668, 266.
Hardwood is a higher-tier wood introduced with the Sakurajima content, and it feeds late-game building and storage recipes once you’ve unlocked it in the tech tree. Unlike the wood you’ve been chopping since the tutorial, it only comes off a specific kind of tree in the new region — the pink Sakura (cherry blossom) trees — so knowing exactly where they cluster saves you a lot of aimless chopping.

Farming Hardwood passively with logging Pals
KEY!Because the whole area is blanketed with pink trees, a base here keeps your Pals busy without you micromanaging them — you come back, and the Hardwood is already stacking up in storage. Exact yield per tree and how quickly the trees come back aren’t pinned down, so treat this as a steady repeat-farm rather than a fixed hourly rate.
Oil and Hardwood spot east of Secluded Cemetery
Just east of Secluded Cemetery there’s a second pocket worth knowing about. Alongside more cherry blossom trees for Hardwood, this area has surface spots for farming oil, so a single base placed here can pull double duty. If you’re already invested in the Sakurajima grind, it’s a convenient stop that turns one trip into two resources.
Other Hardwood regions worth checking
| Area | Best use |
|---|---|
| Secluded Cemetery (Sakurajima) | Main farm — clustered pink Sakura trees, easy to reach |
| East of Secluded Cemetery | Mixed spot for both oil and Hardwood |
| Floating sky-island / World Tree trees | Secondary Sakurajima source once you’ve opened the area |
| Feybreak | A scattered lead with no fixed route yet |
The Sakura trees around Secluded Cemetery are the reliable route, but they aren’t the only place Hardwood shows up. The new floating sky-island forests near the World Tree also carry it — reaching that zone means completing its quest chain (talking to the marked NPC, gathering the quest items, crafting an Echoing Flute at a Primitive Workbench, and capturing the boss Felis), so it’s a heavier detour than a quick warp to the grove.
Some players report finding Hardwood over on Feybreak too, though there’s no clear landmark or coordinate attached to it yet. Sources also don’t fully agree on whether every tree in these new zones drops Hardwood or only the pink Sakura and sky-island variants, so when in doubt, stick to the cherry blossom trees you can clearly identify.
Common Hardwood farming mistakes to avoid
The biggest time-waster is chopping the wrong trees. Normal trees across the base-game regions only give standard Wood — no matter how many you fell, they’ll never drop Hardwood, so ignore anything that isn’t the pink cherry blossom variety. On Sakurajima itself, resist the urge to swing at every trunk; the non-pink trees mixed into the landscape aren’t worth your stamina.
It’s also easy to run into “Hardwood” farming advice that has nothing to do with Palworld — other games use the same resource name with completely different maps and methods. If a route talks about forests and heights you’ve never seen on the Palworld map, it isn’t for this game.
