# The tree picker

Choose a species and set its age, size, setting, wind, wood and leaves.

J opens the picker anywhere in a world. The middle column holds the species in their groups: temperate, boreal, wetland, dry, tropical, understorey, worked, bonsai and dead. Hover a card to turn the tree. On the right is the 3D preview of the tree you set up. The left column has four pages: **Tree**, **Look**, **Shape** and **More**.

## Tree

* **Size default full:** Full, or small. Small builds the species at the size of a vanilla tree. It is its own build, not the full one shrunk.
* **Age default 60%:** Drives height, thickness, spread and the roots together.
* **Setting default in between:** Forest-grown, in between or open-grown. In a forest a tree grows tall and narrow and drops its lower branches. In the open it stays shorter, spreads and branches low.
* **Wind default No wind:** Bends the trunk and every branch downwind, and thins the crown on the windward side. The arrow next to it sets where the wind blows to; the crown trails that way.
* **Seed:** Type one, or roll a random one with the dice. The same seed and settings always give the same tree.

## Look

[![The Look page of the tree picker](https://voxelsprout.com/media/wildform/picker-look.webp)](https://voxelsprout.com/media/wildform/picker-look.webp)
* **Wood:** The wood palette. Starts at the species' own.
* **Leaves:** The leaf palette. Starts at the species' own.
* **Overlay default None:** Snow, moss or blossom laid on the upward faces of the crown.
* **Crown default with leaves:** With leaves, or bare wood: a winter tree, or a look at the branches.
* **Blocks default whatever looks best:** Placeable by hand uses only blocks a player could put there in survival: no open trapdoors held in mid-air, no plants on faces that would not hold them.

## At the bottom

* **Save...** keeps the tree under a name. See [Saved trees and account](https://voxelsprout.com/wildform/wiki/saved-trees).
* **Sign in** links a VoxelSprout account.
* **Website** opens the same tree in the [tree generator](https://voxelsprout.com/generators/trees).
* **Paint** starts paint mode with this tree. Shift+click other species first to paint a mix.
* The round arrow at the top, **Reset to species**, goes back to the species' own wood, leaves, shape and settings. It keeps the age and size.
