Allotments

There are four main Allotments around RuneScape, each with two Vegetable Patches, one Flower Patch, a Compost Bin, and a Herb Patch. There are also two other 'Allotment' Patches, one with just a Vegetable Patch, and one with a Herb Patch that can never become diseased!

Location: North of Ardougne
Type: Main Allotment - 2 Vegetable, 1 Flower, 1 Herb Patch
Nearest Teleports: Ardougne [Modern Magic]; Fishing Guild [Lunar Magic/Necklace of Skills]; Ranging Guild [Bracelet of Combat]

Location: West of Port Phasmatys
Type: Main Allotment - 2 Vegetable, 1 Flower, 1 Herb Patch
Nearest Teleports: Ectofuntus [Quest reward]; Canifis [Ancient Magic]

Cons: It's in the middle of nowhere. There is no Helper to watch your crops. There is only one patch for Vegetables. The patch is surrounded by aggressive Zombies. You need to do large numbers of Quests to get to it. Even if you have done these Quests, it's rarely worth using since it's a very long way to go unless you are on Mos Le'Harmless for an activity such as Trouble Brewing or Cave Horror slaying.

Spirit Trees

There are three places that you can plant Spirit Trees around RuneScape, and each one has a Gnome willing to protect it for the strange items of a Ground Tooth, a Monkey Bar and 5 Monkey Nuts. It's clear that they're planning on taking over at some point soon, so let them protect more Trees, and make the invasion quicker than it would be otherwise! Strangely, you're limited to just having one Tree planted at a time, so this invasion will inevitably be slower.

Location: Brimhaven

Helper: Praistan Ebola
Pros: It's easy to get to if you are planting a Fruit Tree in Brimhaven.
Cons: There isn't much use for it in Brimhaven since there isn't much around, although there aren't any other very close Teleports. There is no Toll Leprechaun here, so you'll have to go to the nearby Fruit Tree Patch to find one.

Location: Port Sarim
Type: Spirit Tree
Nearest Teleports: Draynor Village [Glory Amulet]; Falador [Modern Magics]; Mining Guild [Necklace of Skills]; Cabbage Patch [Explorer Ring - Lumbridge Tasks]
Nearest Banks: Draynor Village; Void Knight Outpost; Falador East

Cons: Other than Pest Control, there isn't much to do in that corner of the world.

Special

There are just a few other Patches in RuneScape for Special Crops that are so amazingly special that they just had to be called 'Special', which must have been a highly special feeling for them on the special day that they were named in the special naming ceremony.
