How to Plant Cherry Trees in Animal Crossing

If you're playing Animal Crossing, you may already know that plants play a huge role in the game. Trees, in particular, can add character to your island and provide resources for DIY projects. Cherry trees are one of the most popular trees in the game with their beautiful pink blossoms. If you're looking to plant cherry trees on your island, here's how:

Step 1: Obtain Cherry Blossom Saplings

Before you can plant cherry trees, you'll need to get your hands on some cherry blossom saplings. These can be obtained in a few different ways:

Seasonal events: During the Cherry Blossom Festival (happening in early April in the Northern Hemisphere and early October in the Southern Hemisphere), cherry blossom saplings will be available for purchase from Nook's Cranny.

Trading: Players can trade materials or furniture items with others in order to receive cherry blossom saplings.

Mystery Islands: Occasionally, players may find cherry blossom saplings while visiting mystery islands.

Step 2: Select a Planting Location

Once you have your cherry blossom saplings, it's time to select a location to plant them. Cherry trees require a 3x3 area of clear, unobstructed space to grow. Make sure you have enough space for each sapling you want to plant.

Step 3: Dig a Hole

Using your shovel, dig a hole where you want to plant your cherry blossom sapling. The hole should be one space larger than the sapling to allow room for growth.

Step 4: Plant the Sapling

Place the cherry blossom sapling in the hole you dug. Be sure to fill in the hole with the dirt you removed so that the sapling is secure in the ground.

Step 5: Water Your Sapling

Water your cherry blossom sapling with your watering can to give it the best chance of growing. You'll need to water your sapling every day until it is fully grown.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Cherry Tree

After a few days of watering, your cherry blossom sapling will grow into a beautiful cherry tree. When spring comes around, it will be covered in pink blossoms. Enjoy the beauty of your new tree, and don't forget to use its resources for DIY projects!

By following these simple steps, you can easily plant cherry trees on your Animal Crossing island. Happy planting!
