As you explore the islands, you will need to chop down plenty of trees. Clearing a tree will get you sticks and logs, but some trees may also leave a stump behind. Clear the stump, and you will get even more logs and sticks, and sometimes even energy. Some trees will even leave a gift when you clear them!
On your travels, you will also find pink palms and blue glowberry trees. For chopping down a pink palm, you can get pipe wood and violacia. For chopping down blue glowberry trees, you will get logs and glowberries.
