Its still faster than woodcutting, you will be stuck with one tree for months for example: you start cutting arcacia at lvl 15/20/25(forgot) and you earn 20 exp each tree till you get to lvl 40 and then you can cut evergreen trees(40/50 exp each tree), then you cut for 15 lvls (lvl 55)and then you will be able to cut spiky(65 exp each tree) which you have to cut down until you reach lvl 70 fossil trees(90 exp each tree), then you have to cut another 15 lvls to finally get to crystal trees.
