# 🌱 Sapling to Tree Evolution System

In **TimberLegends**, progression is key — and it begins with **Saplings**.

Players have the ability to **evolve their Saplings into full-grown Trees** through a special **NFT blending process**. To initiate the transformation, users must provide:

* The original **Sapling NFT**
* A **special evolution NFT called "Heart Of Growth"**
* A specific amount of **TIMBER tokens**

This process not only enhances the value of the NFT but also significantly increases its **TIMBER production rate**, making Trees a vital asset for efficient resource generation.

But that’s not all — Trees will also play a critical role in the upcoming **TimberLegends Discord-based NFT game**, where they will unlock **unique gameplay utilities**, boost in-game advantages, and provide additional strategic opportunities for holders.

By encouraging progression and utility, the Sapling-to-Tree system rewards active participation and supports long-term player investment in the TimberLegends ecosystem.
