Introduction

Star trees are a beautiful addition to any Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) island. These trees bear unique-looking leaves, which makes them stand out from other trees in the game. Planting star trees in ACNH is fairly easy, and in this guide, we will show you how to plant star trees in your island.

Step 1: Gather Materials

The first thing you need to do is gather the necessary materials for planting star trees. You will need a regular sapling (cedar or hardwood), a star fragment, and a golden watering can. You can get a golden watering can by achieving a five-star island rating from Isabelle. You can get star fragments by wishing upon shooting stars during a meteor shower event in your island.

Step 2: Choose a Location

Next, choose a location where you want to plant your star tree. Keep in mind that you cannot plant star trees next to other trees or objects as they need ample space to grow. It's also best to plant them in an area that has easy access to water as star trees need to be watered regularly with the golden watering can.

Step 3: Plant the Sapling

Once you have chosen a location, it's time to plant your sapling. Dig a hole in the ground using your shovel and plant the sapling. Make sure you keep a one-space gap around the sapling so it can grow properly. Water the sapling with a golden watering can, and it will take a few days to fully grow.

Step 4: Adding a Star Fragment

To turn your sapling into a star tree, you need to add a star fragment to it. Make sure you have a star fragment in your inventory and interact with your fully grown sapling. Select the option to add the star fragment, and it will turn into a star tree almost instantly.

Step 5: Maintenance

Finally, it's important to maintain your star tree by watering it regularly with a golden watering can. You can also place a fence around it to protect it from being accidentally chopped down by visitors or yourself. Star trees do not require any special care beyond regular watering, so you can enjoy their unique beauty without worrying about anything else.

Conclusion

Planting star trees in ACNH is an easy process that adds some unique charm to your island. With this guide, you can easily plant your own star tree and enjoy its beauty for years to come.
