How to Plant Money Tree on Animal Crossing

Planting a money tree in Animal Crossing is a great way to earn more bells without the need to sell items or participate in special events. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of planting and growing a money tree on your Animal Crossing island!

Step 1: Acquire a Money Tree Sapling

The first thing you need to do is to acquire a money tree sapling. You can do this by shaking trees on your island, and there is a chance that one will drop from a tree. Alternatively, you can purchase a money tree sapling from the Nook's Cranny shop if it is available. Once you have a sapling in your inventory, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Choose the Right Spot

Next, you need to choose the right spot to plant your money tree. It is recommended that you plant it in an open area with enough space around it to ensure that it grows properly. The spot should be away from other trees or objects that might prevent it from growing. It's also better to plant it in a location that's easily visible and accessible.

Step 3: Planting the Money Tree Sapling

Once you've found the perfect spot to plant, you can dig a hole using a shovel. Then, select the money tree sapling from your inventory and choose "plant" when prompted. Make sure to plant it in the hole you have dug, and cover it with soil. Water the sapling immediately after planting to help it grow faster.

Step 4: Wait for the Money Tree to Grow

After planting, you need to wait for the money tree to grow. It takes three days for the money tree to fully mature, and during this time, you need to water it daily to speed up the growth process. You can check the tree's progress by looking at its leaves. When the leaves become golden, it means that the tree is ready to be harvested.

Step 5: Harvesting the Money Tree

Harvesting the money tree is easy. Simply use a shovel to dig up the tree, and you will receive three bags of bells. Each bag contains three times the amount of bells you planted, up to a maximum of 30,000 bells. After harvesting, the money tree will become a regular tree, and you can leave it standing or cut it down using an axe.

Conclusion

Planting a money tree is an easy and fun way to earn more bells in Animal Crossing. Follow these simple steps, and you'll be on your way to growing your own money tree in no time. Remember to water it daily, and wait patiently for it to grow. Happy planting!
