Introduction

Are you struggling to grow fruit trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Don't worry, planting fruit trees is easy to do and can add to the beauty of your island. In this article, we will walk you through the steps on how to plant fruit trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Step 1: Obtain Fruit

The first step in planting fruit trees is to obtain the fruit itself. Each player starts with one type of fruit on their island, but if you want to grow other kinds of fruit trees, you will need to obtain them through trading with other players or using Nook Miles to visit other islands.

Step 2: Choose a Spot

Once you have your fruit, you need to choose a spot to plant the tree. You can plant fruit trees anywhere on grassy areas or sandy beaches, but you cannot plant them on stone, rock or man-made paths.

Step 3: Dig a Hole

To plant the tree, you will need to dig a hole. Use your shovel to dig a hole in the spot you have chosen. The hole should be one square deep and one square wide.

Step 4: Plant the Fruit

Put the fruit in the hole, then cover the hole with dirt. The fruit will transform into a small sapling, which will grow into a fruit tree over time.

Step 5: Water and Wait

Now that the tree is planted, you need to water it. Use a watering can to water the sapling. You only need to water the tree once, and it will not need to be watered again.

After a few days, the sapling will grow into a fruit tree. Once it has fully grown, you can start harvesting fruit from it once a day.

Tips for Planting

Here are some additional tips to keep in mind when planting fruit trees:

Plant trees in clusters of 9 (3x3) for maximum fruit output.

After the initial watering, you do not need to water the tree again.

Make sure there is space for the tree to grow, as trees will not grow if they are too close to one another.

Remember to shake trees to collect any fruit that falls off.

Fruit trees can also be moved or relocated by digging it up and replanting it elsewhere.

Conclusion

There you have it! Planting fruit trees is a simple process that can add a lot of beauty and functionality to your island. Within a few days, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor by harvesting delicious fruit from your trees. Remember, patience is key when it comes to growing trees. With a bit of patience and persistence, you'll have a beautiful orchard to show off to all your island guests in no time.
