To regrow trees in Witchspire, unlock the ritual scroll recipes in your Luminary, craft a Lesser Regrowth Scroll or stronger Regrowth Scroll at the Witchcraft Circle, then cast it where you want fresh trees to appear.
Wood is one of the resources you keep burning through in Witchspire, so relying only on whatever trees are still standing near your base gets painful fast. The active method is to use tree regrowth scrolls, while the passive method depends on leaving resource spots clear so the world can refill them over time.
Tree regrowth methods
| Method | How it works | Best for | Main warning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ritual scroll regrowth | Craft and cast a Lesser Regrowth Scroll or Regrowth Scroll at the target location. | Actively creating fresh trees for wood farming. | Requires unlocking the scroll recipe and spending crafting materials. |
| Passive natural regrowth | Trees and other resources can return over time through the world’s resource system. | Long-term recovery of harvested areas. | Built objects near resource spots can block respawns, and the exact timer is not documented. |
Luminary recipes for regrowth scrolls
Before you can craft tree regrowth scrolls, open your Luminary and look for the ritual scroll unlocks. Ritual Scroll Set 1 gives you the recipe for the Lesser Regrowth Scroll, which is the early, cheaper tree regrowth option.
If you are further into progression, unlock Ritual Scroll Set 2 as well. That set gives access to the stronger Regrowth Scroll, which costs more but affects a much larger area when cast.

Regrowth scroll crafting requirements
| Scroll | Unlock | Materials | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lesser Regrowth Scroll | Ritual Scroll Set 1 | Simple Ritual Candle, 1 Shimmering Ink, 5 Spirit Dust, 1 Verdant Bloom | Grows several trees in a smaller radius around the target location. |
| Regrowth Scroll | Ritual Scroll Set 2 | 1 Ritual Candle, 2 Shimmering Ink, 2 Verdant Blooms | Works the same way, but covers a much larger radius and spawns more trees at once. |
The Lesser Regrowth Scroll is the practical early pick because its materials are lighter and you unlock it first. The stronger Regrowth Scroll is the better long-term farming tool once you can afford the recipe cost.
Best scroll for wood farming
Use the Regrowth Scroll when you want a serious wood farm. Its larger radius lets you spawn significantly more trees in one cast, which means less time repeating the same setup over and over.
The Lesser Regrowth Scroll still has a place. It is cheaper, available earlier, and good enough when you only need a small batch of trees near a convenient harvesting spot.
Keep your main buildings away from tree respawn spots so passive regrowth has room to work while you use scrolls for controlled wood farming.
Natural tree regrowth and base placement
Trees and other resources can grow back naturally over time, but the world’s resource system avoids areas where the player has built. If you put a Hearth, Workbench, house pieces, or other structures right beside a tree node, that spot may stop producing new resources.
Natural regrowth is not instant. Players have reported trees returning through earlier growth stages before becoming full trees again, but the exact passive tree regrowth timer is not documented.
Alderwood and older save behavior
Alderwood tree behavior is less settled than regular scroll-based regrowth. Early players have reported inconsistent results around whether Alderwood trees reliably return or can be replaced safely, so avoid building tightly around scarce Alderwood spots if you still need that resource.
There is also an older-save caveat: tree-regrowth fixes from patch 0.1.1 were described as not retroactive for already affected saves. If a tree spot near a built area went missing before that fix, clearing space may not restore it in that same world.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do trees regrow automatically in Witchspire?
Yes, trees and other resources can regrow over time, but passive regrowth is affected by base placement. Built objects near resource spots can block the system from bringing trees back.
What is the difference between Lesser Regrowth Scroll and Regrowth Scroll?
The Lesser Regrowth Scroll is unlocked through Ritual Scroll Set 1, costs less, and affects a smaller area. The stronger Regrowth Scroll is unlocked through Ritual Scroll Set 2, costs more, and covers a much larger radius for faster wood farming.
Why are my trees not coming back near my base?
Your base may be blocking the resource spot. Move Hearths, Workbenches, and structures away from the area where the trees originally grew, then leave the spot open while time passes.
Can you plant tree seeds in garden plots?
No tree seed method is supported here. Garden plots are used for crop planting, while tree replacement is handled through regrowth scrolls and the world’s passive resource regrowth system.
Do regrown trees give Spirit Dust?
Yes, regrown trees can sometimes provide Spirit Dust in addition to fresh wood, making scroll-based tree farming useful beyond basic building materials.
