How to Plant a Money Tree in Animal Crossing New Horizons

One of the most exciting aspects of Animal Crossing New Horizons is the ability to plant a money tree. These trees will grow bags of bells, which is the game’s currency, singing to the tune of up to 30,000 bells per tree. This guide will help you plant and grow your own money tree!

What You Need

You will need a few things before you can plant your money tree. First, you need a shovel to dig a hole to plant the tree. Secondly, you will need a bag of bells to plant, and lastly, find a spot to place the tree. It is best to choose an area with enough space around the tree so it can grow properly.

How to Plant a Money Tree

Now that you have everything, it is time to plant. First, locate the spot you want your tree to grow. Then, dig a hole with your shovel. The hole size should be equal to the size of the bag of bells you have. For example, if you have a 1,000-bell bag, the hole should be the size of one space in the ground. Next, drop the bells into the hole and bury them. Then, water the spot with your watering can to increase the chance of it growing into a money tree. Voila! You have now planted a money tree.

How to Grow a Money Tree

Your job is now to ensure your tree grows. Time and patience are necessary because the tree won’t grow immediately. Generally, it takes three to five days to grow a money tree. Keep the space around the tree clear and make sure there is no other material close to it. The tree will eventually grow a bag of bells, and you can then harvest it without a shovel. The tree will only produce money once, then it will turn into a regular tree.

Maximizing Your Earnings

To maximize your earnings with money trees, there are a few tips and tricks. Firstly, try planting your money tree using a 10,000-bell bag. Those have the maximum return of 30,000 bells. Secondly, try planting multiple money trees in one day. Thirdly, once the tree grows, make sure to harvest your bells before the tree turns into a regular one. Lastly, if you come across a glowing spot digging in the ground, make sure to dig there because it is a guaranteed spot for a money tree to grow.

Conclusion

Planting a money tree is a straightforward process that can significantly increase your earnings in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Remember to have patience and make strategic decisions around planting locations and the size of the bags used. Soon you will be reaping the benefits of a virtual forest of money trees in no time. Finally, happy planting and have fun expanding your virtual collection!
