A variety of floating islands; four gem trees can be seen

A gem tree is a rare type of tree introduced in version 1.6.

Appearance

Although colored similarly to the gem type they pair with, a gem tree otherwise resembles a very large tree. They tend to have leaves arranged in broad, shallow patterns different from other tree types.

Particles descend from gem tree leaves year-round, suggestive of falling petals.

Regardless of the type of tree, all gem trees glow blue in the dark.

Gem trees are made of gem wood and gem leaves.

Where Found

Gem trees only spawn during world generation (or in unrevealed areas of older worlds opened in 1.6) on marble floating islands. They do not grow larger and cannot be planted or relocated. The rarity of each variety of tree corresponds to the rarity of the gem.

Farming

Each gem tree will produce the gem of the tree type. These will spawn every eight years (32 game days), with the usual options to speed things up. These gems can be harvested by hand or by having a blockhead pass through the space they're in.

Tree branches can be harvested for sticks and trunks for wood. However, the trees will not regrow. If the tree is cut down, gems may also fall.

Trivia

Unlike other trees in the game, gem trees do not exist in real life.
