How to Plant Apple Trees in Blockheads

Apple trees are a great addition to any Blockheads farm as they produce delicious fruits. However, planting apple trees requires some attention to detail, so let's look at the steps involved in successfully planting apple trees in your Blockheads game.

Preparing the Area for Planting

Before planting apple trees, it’s important to prepare the area where you want to plant them. Choose a spot that gets plenty of sunlight and is well drained. You should clear out any weeds or unwanted plants from the area where you want to plant, and loosen the soil with a garden fork.

Planting the Trees

Once you’ve prepared the location for planting, it’s time to plant the apple trees. First, you’ll need to craft a basket at a workbench using 10 sticks. The basket will be used to carry the tree, so put it in your inventory.

Next, you need to find an apple tree. These can be found naturally spawning throughout the Blockheads world, but if you can't find one, you can purchase an apple tree seed from the market. Once you have an apple tree or a seed, select it in your inventory and then select the basket.

After this, the basket will show the apple tree as its contents. Place the basket on the ground and the tree will appear in the world, ready to be planted. Make sure the tree is facing north, and then tap the ground to plant it.

Caring for the Trees

Apple trees require regular maintenance to ensure they continue growing and producing fruits. Water the trees regularly to keep the soil moist, and fertilize them occasionally to provide necessary nutrients. You can use compost or manure to fertilize the trees.

It’s also essential to prune the trees periodically after they’ve reached maturity. Pruning helps in shaping the tree, maintaining a healthy structure, and ensuring that it produces fruit. Prune any dead or diseased branches and cut the lateral branches to an upward-facing bud to enhance fruit growth.

Harvesting the Fruits

After the apple trees have matured, it’s time to harvest the fruits. You can do this by tapping on the tree and then selecting the basket from your inventory. Once the basket is selected, the apples will be picked.

If you want to use apples for cooking or crafting, you can place them in your inventory and use them as required. Alternatively, you can sell the fruits in the market to earn coins.

Conclusion

Planting apple trees in Blockheads can be a bit tricky, but with the right tools and techniques, it’s possible to grow healthy and fruitful trees. Remember to prepare the area well, plant the trees north-facing, and give them the needed water and nutrients. With proper care, you can grow plentiful apple trees to enjoy in your Blockheads farm.
