How to Plant Trees in a Greenhouse in Stardew Valley

Greenhouses in Stardew Valley are an excellent addition to any farm, providing a controlled growing environment for crops and allowing the player to plant trees that would otherwise not thrive in the game's outdoor environment. Planting trees in a greenhouse requires some preparation and attention, but with the right approach, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of fruit trees all year long. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Clear the Space and Prepare the Soil

The first step in planting trees in your Stardew Valley greenhouse is to clear the space where you want to plant them. Remove any debris, rocks, or weeds from the area, and make sure the soil is tilled and free from clumps.

Next, add fertilizer to the soil. You can use any type of fertilizer, but it’s recommended to use higher quality fertilizer like Quality Fertilizer, which will provide your trees with the most nutrients. Simply walk over to the raised dirt plots and left-click on them with the fertilizer in hand to fertilize them.

Once you have treated the soil, it’s time to water the plot(s) that you have fertilized. You can use your watering can to do this. Just left-click on the plot(s) with the watering can in hand to water them.

Step 2: Buy and Plant the Trees

Once you have your plot(s) prepared, it’s time to buy and plant your trees. Visit Pierre's General Store in Pelican Town or the Oasis in the Desert to buy fruit tree saplings. You can choose from apple trees, apricot trees, cherry trees, orange trees, peach trees, and pomegranate trees. Each sapling costs 1000g.

To plant the saplings, place the sapling in your inventory and left-click on the plot(s) with the sapling in hand. Make sure you leave a gap of one square between each tree, to allow for adequate growth and fruit collection space. The sapling will grow into a fully matured fruit tree in 28 days.

Step 3: Take Care of the Trees

Once your trees are planted, they need regular care to thrive. Make sure you water them every day, and make sure to use fertilizer on the soil at the start of each season or whenever its effect has run out. Trees will also need to be pruned from time to time. To do this, right-click on the tree with the scythe equipped to remove a branch from the tree. You can't prune on the day you’ve watered the trees.

When the trees are fully grown, they will start producing fruit. Depending on the season, your tree will produce different fruits. Make sure to pick the fruit before the start of a new season, as any fruit left on the tree will disappear. The fruit can be sold, eaten, given as gifts, or processed in various ways, like making juice or jam.

Conclusion

Planting fruit trees in a Stardew Valley greenhouse is an excellent way to increase the variety and quantity of fruit you can harvest all year long. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of apples, apricots, cherries, oranges, peaches, and pomegranates in your farm’s greenhouse. So, roll up your sleeves, grab your tools and start planting!
