How to Plant Money Trees in ACNL

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf (ACNL), there is a way to grow money trees that can help you quickly earn a substantial amount of Bells. Money trees are a great investment that can pay off big time, so in this article, we will go over how to plant them and how to care for them once they’ve sprouted.

Step 1: Collecting the Bell Bags

To grow a money tree, you need to collect a lot of Bell bags. The more Bells you plant, the higher your chance is of growing a tree that will yield a large amount of Bells. Once you have a substantial amount of Bell bags, you can move on to the next step.

Step 2: Choosing the Perfect Location

The next step is to choose a spot to plant your money tree. It's best to choose a spot where you've already dug up a spot. Make sure to plant your money tree away from any other trees, buildings or cliffs. Dig a hole and plant your Bell bags using the tab button.

Step 3: Watering and Growth Process

Once your Bell bags are planted, you need to water them with your watering can. You’ll need to water them for several days before you start to see a tree sprouting. Keep an eye on the tree, and make sure to water it every day to ensure that it grows properly. After three to four days, your tree will be fully grown, and you’ll be ready to harvest your Bells!

Step 4: Harvesting Your Bells

Once the tree has fully grown, you will see three bags of Bells on the branches. These bags will contain three times the amount of Bells you initially planted, so if you planted 10,000 Bells, you will harvest 30,000 Bells. Once you’ve harvested the Bells, the tree will turn back into a regular tree.

Step 5: Taking Care of Your Money Trees

After harvesting your Bells, you can plant new Bell bags in the same spot to grow another money tree. If you take care of your money trees properly, you can have a never-ending supply of Bells. Make sure to keep a record of how many Bell bags you've planted in each spot, as some spots might only yield a certain amount of Bells.

Additionally, you can’t just plant Bell bags anywhere in ACNL, as some spots won’t grow trees. The game uses a seed-generation algorithm that limits the spots where money trees can grow. As a general rule, money trees can only grow in spots that are one or two spaces away from a tree or solid object.

In Conclusion

Money trees are an excellent investment in ACNL that can help you earn a substantial amount of Bells if you know how to care for them properly. Make sure to follow the steps in this guide to grow and harvest your own money trees!
