How to Plant Star Fragment Trees in ACNH

One of the most popular items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) is the star fragment. While these can be found randomly washed up on your island's shores or received as a reward for wishing on shooting stars, many players have been wondering if it's possible to plant star fragment trees.

The Short Answer

Unfortunately, the answer is no. There is no way to plant star fragment trees in ACNH. Star fragments, unlike fruit and trees, cannot be grown or farmed. They are solely found through wishing or completing certain tasks in the game.

What are Star Fragments?

Star fragments are a rare material used to craft a variety of items in ACNH, ranging from star-themed furniture to wands that give your character special abilities. They come in different types, such as large fragments or zodiac fragments, and are obtained by wishing on shooting stars during meteor showers, talking to Celeste (a special NPC who appears on your island during meteor shower events), or completing certain tasks in the game.

How to Get Star Fragments

The most reliable way to get star fragments is to wish on shooting stars during a meteor shower. These meteor showers are random and occur between 7 PM and 4 AM on clear nights. You can track meteor showers through the weather forecast provided by Isabelle in the morning announcements or through your island residents mentioning it during conversations.

To wish on shooting stars, you need to look up at the sky and press A when a shooting star passes by. Your character will perform a special animation and you'll hear a twinkling sound, indicating that you've made a wish. The next day, you'll find star fragments scattered along your island's shores, where they've washed up from the night before.

You can also get star fragments from talking to Celeste, who appears on your island during meteor shower events. She will give you a DIY recipe and may also give you a star fragment or two as a reward for speaking with her.

Conclusion

While there is no way to plant star fragment trees in ACNH, there are still plenty of ways to obtain these magical materials for your crafting needs. Keep an eye out for meteor shower events and wish on shooting stars to collect star fragments, or visit Celeste to receive DIY recipes and the occasional star fragment reward. Happy crafting!
