How to Plant Orange Trees in Animal Crossing

Orange trees are one of the most popular types of fruit trees in Animal Crossing. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they can also be a great source of income. In this guide, we will show you how to plant orange trees in Animal Crossing.

Step 1: Obtain Orange Saplings

The first step to planting orange trees is to obtain orange saplings. You can acquire these saplings from either Nook's Cranny or your island's resident Tom Nook. Saplings are typically sold for a price of 400 Bells each.

Step 2: Choose a Planting Location

The next step is to choose a location for your orange tree. You should choose a location that receives ample sunlight and has enough space for the tree to grow. Make sure to leave enough space between the trees so they have room to grow without crowding each other.

Step 3: Dig a Hole

Using your shovel, dig a hole where you would like to plant your orange tree. The hole should be big enough to fit the sapling, but not too big as to make the soil too loose. Add any fertilizer or soil enrichment that you feel your soil may need to promote healthy growth of your sapling.

Step 4: Plant Your Orange Sapling

Take your orange sapling and place it into the hole. Make sure that the roots are covered with soil and that the sapling is firmly planted. Water the tree immediately to help it settle into its new home.

Step 5: Care for Your Orange Tree

Caring for your orange tree is essential to ensure that it stays healthy and produces good fruit. Water your tree regularly and fertilize it as often as necessary. It is also important to regularly prune the tree to encourage new growth and remove any dead or diseased branches that may be present.

Step 6: Harvest Your Oranges

Once your tree has grown and matured, it will begin to produce oranges. When the oranges are ripe, they will change color from green to orange. You can then shake the tree to knock the oranges onto the ground, or use your net to catch them.

Conclusion

Planting and caring for an orange tree in Animal Crossing can be a fun and rewarding experience. By following these simple steps, you can grow a healthy orange tree that will provide you with delicious fruit for years to come.
