** The tree on .
** The tree in Celadon City, which blocks the way to Celadon Gym (must be cut twice, since it regrows after reloading the map)
** The tree in Celadon Gym, which blocks the way to Erika (must be cut twice, since it regrows after reloading the map)
** Should the player black out due to damage while in the section with Erika, this tree only has to be cut once, lowering the number of required Cut uses to 3.
** In , that number is 4, since the cut trees in Celadon Gym don't regrow until the player reenters. Cut must also be used to open the Dotted Hole door, should the player wish to do the and quest, increasing the number of required Cut uses in the overworld to 5.
