The quickest way to get to Tree  

Tree only takes 8 steps to create in Little Alchemy 1, as you can create Time from other elements. 

In Little Alchemy 2 though, it’s a different story. As there’s no recipe for Time in the second version of the game, it will take you 27 steps to find Tree without it! If you have Time, it will take 9, which is fairly average.
