Don't Starve Together
In Don't Starve Together, digging up a planted Pine Cone, Birchnut or Twiggy Tree Cone will yield Twigs. When cut down, Twiggy Trees drop varying amounts of Twigs depending on their size, unless they are in their dead lifecycle state. They will also periodically drop Twigs on their own.
