OCG Rulings[]
- Placing a Flower Counter on this card does not start a chain.[1]
- Placing a Flower Counter on this card occurs when resolving the effect that destroys the Plant-Type monster. If destroyed by battle, you place a Flower Counter on this card when sending the destroyed monster to the Graveyard.[2]
- If "DNA Surgery" turns a non-Plant-Type monster into a Plant-Type monster, then "The World Tree" gains a Flower Counter when the monster is destroyed. If "DNA Surgery" turns a Plant-Type monster into a non-Plant-Type monster, then "The World Tree" does not gain a Flower Counter when the monster is destroyed.[3]
Previously Official Rulings[]
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[4] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- Placing Flower Counters onto "The World Tree" does not start a Chain.
- Each of "The World Tree's" effects target. Each effect is an Ignition Effect.
- If the Monster Type of a monster on the field is changed to Plant-Type with "DNA Surgery", when it is destroyed, place a Flower Counter onto "The World Tree".
- If a Plant-Type monster is destroyed by battle, place a Flower Counter onto "The World Tree" when the destroyed monster is sent to the Graveyard. If a Plant-Type monster is destroyed by a card effect, place a Flower Counter onto "The World Tree" after resolving the effect that destroyed the Plant-Type monster.
- If "The World Tree" is removed from the field after resolving its "Remove 1:" effect, the ATK and DEF increase still lasts until the End Phase.
