How to Plant Money Tree in New Horizons

Money trees are an essential part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you're familiar with the game, you surely understand the benefits of having a money tree in your virtual world.

Acquiring the Money Tree

The money tree is a unique and rewarding plant that requires some effort and resources to obtain. To acquire the money tree, follow the steps below:

Reach the 3-star rating on your island- It must be perfect before you can acquire one.

Once perfect, the next time you log in, you'll receive a message saying that someone from Nook Inc. showed up with a gift, it's a golden shovel.

Dig up the map indicated spot when you've found the golden spot. It's typically located near some other trees and the rock areas.

Bury some bells in the hole in the ground, ideally 10,000 bells, although 1,000 bells will also work, but it has a lower return rate.

Locate the glowing sprout that appears when you've planted the money tree, and eventually, the tree will grow and produce three bags of bells after a few days.

Be careful: The money tree will only produce money once; after that, it will function as a standard tree.

Caring for the Money Tree

After you've planted the money tree successfully, it's crucial to care for it to ensure that it continues to produce money. Please don't forget the following tips:

Maintain a reasonable distance between your trees. An ideal distance is two squares on all sides, although a single square of distance can be used in a pinch.

Place the money tree in an area that receives adequate sunlight and rain, similar to any other plant in New Horizons

Water the sapling regularly, and avoid removing it once the tree has grown to maturity to obtain the maximum amount of bells.

The money tree is a renewable resource, so you can harvest bells every few days for an unlimited amount of time. With the bells earned, you can upgrade your island, home or purchase various items from Nook's Cranny.

Conclusion

The money tree is an excellent addition to any Animal Crossing: New Horizons island. By following the steps outlined above, you can acquire and cultivate this precious plant to maximize your gains from it. Your careful attention to this resource will pay off in the end, providing you with vast sums of bells that will help you achieve your island goals and improve your new horizons experience.
