How to plant a tree in New Horizons

Planting trees is a great way to add color and life to your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can plant trees that will grow and flourish in your virtual world. In this article, we'll take you through the steps to plant a tree in New Horizons.

Step 1: Gather materials

The first thing you'll need to do is gather the materials you'll need to plant a tree. You'll need a shovel to dig a hole, fruit to plant the tree, and a watering can to water it.

To get fruit, you can either shake trees on your island or visit other islands using Nook Miles Tickets. Once you have fruit in your inventory, you can plant it in the ground to grow a new tree.

Step 2: Choose a location

Next, you'll need to choose a location for your tree. Make sure you have enough space for the tree to grow and that it's not too close to other trees or buildings. You'll also want to think about the look of your island and choose a spot that will add to its overall aesthetic.

Step 3: Dig a hole

Use your shovel to dig a hole where you want to plant the tree. The hole should be deep enough to hold the fruit and any surrounding soil, but not so deep that the fruit is buried too deep. If you're not sure how deep to dig, try digging a hole that's about two shovel widths across and one shovel deep.

Step 4: Plant the fruit

Place the fruit in the hole and cover it with soil by using your shovel. Be sure to pack the soil down lightly to help the fruit take root. Once you've planted the fruit, you'll see a small, green shoot start to grow in a few days.

Step 5: Water the tree

Now that the fruit is planted, you'll need to water the tree. Use your watering can to water the soil around the fruit until it's soaked. This will help the fruit take root and start to grow. You'll need to water the tree regularly, especially during the early days of growth.

Step 6: Wait for the tree to grow

After a few days, you'll start to see the fruit shoot grow into a small sapling. Keep watering the tree regularly and give it plenty of space to grow. In a few more days, you'll have a fully grown tree that will provide shade and beauty for your island.

Conclusion

Planting trees in New Horizons is easy and rewarding. With just a few simple steps, you can add a touch of nature to your island and enjoy the beauty of your hard work. So, grab your shovel and start planting!
