How to Plant Trees in Animal Crossing New Horizons

Planting trees in Animal Crossing New Horizons is a fun and rewarding experience that adds beauty and value to your island. Not only do trees provide shade and aesthetic appeal, but they also serve as a source of wood for crafting furniture and other items. In this guide, we will explore the different types of trees and how to plant them in your island.

Types of Trees in Animal Crossing New Horizons

There are three types of trees in Animal Crossing New Horizons: fruit trees, hardwood trees, and cedar trees. Fruit trees bear fruit that can be sold or eaten. Hardwood trees provide wood for crafting furniture and other items. Cedar trees are evergreen trees that add seasonal charm to your island during the winter holidays.

Planting Fruit Trees

Fruit trees can be purchased from Tom Nook's store or obtained from other players. To plant a fruit tree, you must dig a hole with a shovel and bury a fruit in the hole. The fruit will then grow into a tree. Fruit trees can be planted anywhere on your island, as long as there is enough space for them to grow. They take a few days to grow, so be patient.

Planting Hardwood Trees

Hardwood trees can also be purchased from Tom Nook's store or obtained from other players. To plant a hardwood tree, you must dig a hole with a shovel and plant the sapling in the hole. Hardwood trees should be planted in an area with lots of space, as they grow quite tall. They take several days to grow, so make sure to water them daily to speed up the process.

Planting Cedar Trees

Cedar trees are only available during the winter holidays, from December 15th to January 6th. They can be obtained by shaking decorated trees (trees with colored ornaments) or by visiting other players' islands. To plant a cedar tree, you must dig a hole with a shovel and plant the sapling in the hole. Cedar trees should be planted in an area with lots of space, as they also grow quite tall. They take several days to grow, so make sure to water them daily to speed up the process.

Caring for Your Trees

Once your trees have been planted, it's important to take care of them so they can grow healthy and strong. Make sure to water your trees daily, especially during dry spells, to keep them hydrated. You can also use fertilizer to help your trees grow faster and produce more fruit. To prevent your trees from dying, make sure to keep them away from cliffs and buildings, as the roots need room to grow.

Conclusion

Planting trees in Animal Crossing New Horizons is a simple and fun activity that adds beauty and value to your island. Whether you're planting fruit trees or decorating your island with cedar trees, the process is easy and rewarding. With a little care and patience, your trees will thrive and provide you with fruit, wood, and seasonal charm for years to come.
