Introduction
Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers a unique and fun way to make money called the "money tree." This guide will show you how to plant, grow, and maximize your profits from money trees in the game.
Step 1: Collecting Bells
Before you can plant a money tree, you need to have some bells. You can earn bells by selling items, completing tasks, and participating in events. The more bells you have, the better the outcome of your money tree will be. Aim to have at least 10,000 bells before moving onto the next step.
Step 2: Finding the Right Spot
Next, you need to find the right spot to plant your money tree. Money trees grow in specific patterns, so it's crucial to plant them correctly. Choose a spot on your island with enough room for the tree to grow and make sure it's not too close to other trees or structures. Once you've found the perfect spot, dig a hole with a shovel.
Step 3: Planting the Bell Bag
To plant a money tree, you need to use a bell bag. Bell bags are special items that can be obtained by shaking trees or buying them from the Nook store. Each bell bag can hold up to 10,000 bells. Place the bell bag into the hole you dug and cover it up with soil. Make sure to water the spot with a watering can to increase the chances of the tree growing successfully.
Step 4: Waiting for the Tree to Grow
Once you've planted the bell bag, you need to wait for the money tree to grow. Money trees take about three days to grow fully. During this time, make sure to water the spot once a day and keep an eye on the tree's progress. When the tree is fully grown, it will bloom with bells. You can then shake the tree to collect the bells.
Step 5: Harvesting the Bells
After the tree has bloomed, make sure to harvest the bells from the tree. Each tree will yield three bell bags, each containing up to 10,000 bells. You can then use these bells to pay off debts, upgrade your island, or buy items from the Nook store.
Tips for Maximizing Your Profit
To maximize your profit from money trees, here are a few tips:
Only plant one bell bag per tree - planting more than one won't increase your yield.
Plant money trees in a group of three to increase your chances of getting at least one money tree each day.
Make sure to water your money tree each day to increase your chances of a successful growth.
Conclusion
Planting money trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fun and profitable activity. By following these steps and tips, you can maximize your profits and improve your island. Happy planting!
