How to Plant Orange Tree in Animal Crossing

Planting fruit trees in Animal Crossing is a fun and rewarding experience, and orange trees are a popular choice for many players due to their vibrant colors and delicious fruits. If you're wondering how to plant orange trees in Animal Crossing, you've come to the right place! In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to successfully plant and grow an orange tree in Animal Crossing.

Step 1: Obtain Orange Trees

The first step in planting an orange tree is to obtain orange trees. There are a few different ways to get your hands on them:

Purchase saplings from Tom Nook's store: Visit Tom Nook's store and look for saplings for sale. Orange tree saplings typically cost 1,200 bells each.

Receive saplings from Isabelle: If you achieve a high enough rating for your island, Isabelle may gift you orange tree saplings.

Visit other players' islands: If you have friends who play Animal Crossing, you can visit their island and see if they have any orange trees to spare.

Step 2: Choose a Location

Once you have your saplings, the next step is to choose a location to plant them. Orange trees need a lot of space to grow, so make sure you choose a spot that is free from clutter and other trees. Additionally, try to avoid areas that are too close to the water, as this can make it difficult for your saplings to thrive.

Step 3: Plant the Saplings

Now it's time to get your hands dirty and plant those orange tree saplings! Here's how:

Equip your shovel and dig a hole in the ground where you want to plant your sapling.

Place the sapling in the hole and cover it with dirt.

Water the sapling by pressing A and using your watering can. Make sure to water it every day until the tree is fully grown.

Step 4: Wait for the Trees to Grow

Unfortunately, planting an orange tree in Animal Crossing isn't an instant process. It takes a few days for the trees to grow, and even longer for them to start bearing fruit. Here's what you can expect:

Day 1: The sapling will be planted and has a small chance of dying.

Day 2-3: The sapling will start to grow and develop leaves.

Day 4-5: The sapling will develop into a fully-grown orange tree, but it won't bear fruit yet.

Day 6-7: The orange tree will start to bear fruit, and you can start harvesting oranges from it.

Step 5: Harvest the Fruit

Once your orange tree starts to bear fruit, it's time to harvest! Here's how:

Equip your net and hit the tree with it to shake the oranges loose.

Run around to collect the oranges as they fall to the ground.

Sell the oranges to Tom Nook or use them for other purposes, like crafting or trading with other players.

That's it! By following these steps, you'll be able to successfully plant and grow orange trees in Animal Crossing. Happy farming!
