How to Plant a Tree in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

If you're a fan of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might have noticed that there are a few empty spaces on your island. Why not fill those spaces with some new trees? Planting trees in the game is a fun and easy way to add some life to your island. Here's how to plant a tree in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Choose a Location

The first step in planting a tree in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to choose a location. You'll want to pick a spot that is open and clear of any other items, buildings or other trees. You'll also want to choose a spot that is close enough to a water source to keep the tree hydrated. Once you've found the perfect spot, it's time to get planting.

Gather Materials

Before you can plant a tree, you'll need a few essential materials. You'll need a shovel to dig a hole, a sapling or fruit to plant, and water to hydrate the tree. You can buy saplings at Nook’s Cranny, the garden store, or you can use fruit that has fallen from trees to grow new ones.

Dig a Hole

Once you have your materials, it's time to dig a hole. Use your shovel to dig a hole where you want your tree to go. The hole should be big enough to fit the sapling or fruit, with a little extra space for the roots to grow.

Plant the Tree

Now it's time to plant the tree. Place the sapling or fruit into the hole, making sure it's level with the ground. Cover the roots with the dirt you removed when digging the hole. Be sure to pack the dirt around the tree to keep it in place. Don't forget to water it!

Take Care of Your Tree

Once your tree is planted, it's important to take care of it. Water it regularly to keep it hydrated, and make sure it gets plenty of sunlight. If your tree starts to wilt, it might need some extra attention. Try placing a fence around it to protect it from being trampled or eaten by animals.

Watch it Grow

As your tree grows, it will start to bear fruit or flowers, depending on the type of tree you planted. It's always exciting to watch your trees grow and change over time. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons time passes just like in real life, so you will have to wait for some time before your tree is fully grown.

Conclusion

Planting trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fun and easy way to add some life to your island. Choose a location, gather your materials, dig a hole, plant the tree, take care of it, and watch it grow. With a little patience and care, you can grow a whole forest of trees on your island. Happy planting!
