Step 1: Wait for Cherry Blossom Season

The first thing you need to do is wait for cherry blossom season. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cherry blossom season occurs from April 1st to April 10th in the Northern Hemisphere and October 1st to October 10th in the Southern Hemisphere. During this time, cherry blossom trees will spawn in your island. Without cherry blossom trees, you won't be able to plant them.

Step 2: Find Cherry Blossom Trees

Once cherry blossom season has arrived, you'll need to find cherry blossom trees. These trees spawn randomly in your island during cherry blossom season. Keep an eye out for them while you're exploring your island. You can identify cherry blossom trees by their pink and white blooms.

Step 3: Collect Cherry Blossom Petals

After you've found cherry blossom trees, you'll need to collect cherry blossom petals. These petals will allow you to plant your own cherry blossom trees. There are different ways to collect these petals. You can either shake the trees with your net by pressing A, or catch them with your net while they're flying around your island. Make sure you have enough space in your inventory to collect as many petals as possible.

Step 4: Craft Cherry Blossom DIY Recipes

Once you've collected enough cherry blossom petals, you'll need to craft cherry blossom DIY recipes. These recipes are required to plant cherry blossom trees. Cherry blossom DIY recipes can either be found in the message bottles that wash up on shore or collected from balloons that fly over your island during cherry blossom season. The recipes vary from cherry blossom picnic sets to cherry blossom bonsai trees.

Step 5: Plant Cherry Blossom Trees

After you've crafted cherry blossom DIY recipes, you're now ready to plant cherry blossom trees. Go to a spot on your island where you want to plant the cherry blossom trees. Make sure there's enough space for the tree to grow. Open your inventory and select the cherry blossom recipe you want to use. Choose "plant" from the options, and follow the instructions to plant the tree. Repeat this process until you've planted as many cherry blossom trees as you desire.

Care and Maintenance of Cherry Blossom Trees

Once you've planted the cherry blossom trees, you'll need to take care of them. Remember to water them every day to keep them healthy. You can also decorate the trees with lights, lanterns, or other seasonal items to make them look even more beautiful. During non-cherry blossom season, the trees will not have flowers, but they will still be decorative trees. Remember to take them down if you need to make space for other projects.

Conclusion
