How to Plant Money Tree in Animal Crossing

Money Trees are a great way to earn bells quickly in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. These special trees will grow bags of bells that you can harvest every few days. However, finding and planting them can be a bit tricky if you're not familiar with the game's mechanics. In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to plant a Money Tree and maximize your harvest.

Step 1: Find a Bell Tree

The first step in planting a Money Tree is finding a Bell Tree. These trees are different from regular trees because they have bags of bells hanging from their branches. Bell Trees can be found on your island as well as randomly on other islands when you use Nook Miles Tickets.

Step 2: Dig up the Bell Tree

Once you've found a Bell Tree, use a shovel to dig it up. You can do this by standing near the tree and pressing 'A' on your Nintendo Switch. Make sure you have enough space in your inventory to carry the entire tree.

Step 3: Find a Planting Spot

Next, you'll need to find a place to plant your Bell Tree. Choose a spot on your island that has plenty of space and isn't too close to other trees or buildings. You'll also want to make sure the spot has good soil quality, which can be determined by the look of the ground.

Step 4: Plant the Bell Tree

Once you've found a good spot, use your shovel to dig a hole in the ground. Make sure it's big enough to accommodate the entire Bell Tree. Place the tree in the hole and cover it back up with soil.

Step 5: Water the Tree

After planting your Bell Tree, you'll need to water it. Equip your watering can and use it on the tree. This will help the tree grow faster and increase the chances of it producing bags of bells. You'll need to water the tree every day for several days in a row to ensure that it grows properly.

Step 6: Wait for the Bells to Grow

Now that your tree is planted and being watered, all you need to do is wait for the bells to grow. The amount of bells that grow on the tree will depend on how much you bury in the hole. The maximum amount you can plant is 10,000 bells, which will yield 30,000 bells in return.

Harvesting the Bells

After a few days, the bells on your Bell Tree will have grown. They will appear as bags hanging from the branches of the tree. To harvest them, simply stand near the tree and press 'A'. The bells will drop out of the bags and fall to the ground. Collect them and use them however you see fit. You can even plant another Bell Tree to keep the bells flowing.

Conclusion

Planting a Money Tree in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a simple process that can yield big rewards. By following these steps, you can plant your own Bell Tree and start earning more bells than you ever thought possible. So grab your shovel, find a good spot, and start planting those trees!
