How to Plant Coconut Trees in Animal Crossing

Planting coconut trees in Animal Crossing can add a tropical vibe to your island. Coconut trees are vital to crafting Island Items, give different types of wood, and provide fruit to sell or eat. If you are not sure how to plant coconut trees, take a look at this step-by-step guide to get you started.

Step 1: Purchase Coconut Saplings or Find Them on Mystery Island

The first step is to obtain the coconut saplings. You can either purchase them from Nook's Cranny, Leif, or from Villager traders, but they might not always have them in stock. Alternatively, you can find them randomly on Mystery Islands by using Nook Miles Tickets or by visiting another player's island during the summer months.

Step 2: Choose a Spot and Dig a Hole

Coconut trees require specific conditions to grow, so choose a spot that has sand and is close to the ocean or a river. Start by selecting your shovel and digging a hole where you want to plant the coconut sapling. The hole should be one space away from other objects or trees in any direction, including diagonally.

Step 3: Plant the Coconut Sapling and Water it

After digging the hole, equip the coconut sapling from your inventory and plant it in the hole. Once planted, make sure to water it using your watering can or the island's natural rain. Watering the sapling increases the chances of it growing into a healthy coconut tree.

Step 4: Wait for the Coconut Tree to Grow

It takes a few days for the coconut sapling to grow into a coconut tree. Make sure to keep an eye on it during this time and water it daily. Once the sapling has grown into a tree, it will have coconuts that you can use for crafting, sell or eat. The coconut tree will also give different types of wood - softwood, hardwood, and regular wood - when chopped.

Conclusion

Planting coconut trees in Animal Crossing adds a tropical touch to your island and provides resources for crafting, selling, and eating. By following these simple steps, you can plant coconut saplings and watch them grow into beautiful trees. Happy planting!
