How to Plant Fruit Trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game that allows players to develop their very own island paradise. One of the most important features of island development is planting fruit trees. Fruit trees in Animal Crossing produce fruit that can be sold or eaten, and some types of fruit trees even produce rare and valuable fruit. In this guide, we'll teach you everything you need to know about planting fruit trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Step 1: Acquire Fruit

The first step in planting fruit trees in Animal Crossing is to acquire fruit. There are several ways to do this:

Visit other islands- You can visit other players' islands and obtain fruit native to their island.

Purchase from Nook's Cranny- You can purchase fruit from the Nook's Cranny shop. The shop's selection rotates each day, so check back often to see if they have any fruit you need.

Mystery islands- You can use Nook Miles to purchase a Nook Miles Ticket and visit mystery islands. These islands can have fruit that is not native to your island.

Step 2: Select a Location

Once you've acquired fruit, the next step is to select a location to plant your fruit tree. Fruit trees need space to grow, so make sure your chosen location has enough space for the tree to grow to full size. Fruit trees also require sunlight, so make sure your chosen location receives ample sunlight.

Step 3: Plant the Fruit

With your location selected, it's time to plant the fruit. To do this, follow these steps:

Stand in the location where you want to plant the fruit.

Open your inventory and select the fruit you want to plant.

Select 'Plant'.

A small hole will appear in the ground. Move over to the hole and select 'Plant it here'.

The fruit will now be planted.

Step 4: Water the Tree

To help your fruit tree grow, it's important to water it regularly. You can do this by using a watering can to water the tree. Alternatively, if it rains, the tree will be automatically watered.

Step 5: Wait for the Tree to Grow

Now it's time to wait for the fruit tree to grow. Fruit trees take several days to grow to full size, so be patient. Once the tree is fully grown, it will produce fruit. The amount of fruit produced will depend on how healthy the tree is. Make sure to continue watering the tree regularly to keep it healthy and producing fruit.

Conclusion

Planting fruit trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fun and satisfying way to develop your island paradise. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to grow healthy fruit trees that produce delicious fruit. Happy planting!
