How to Plant Bell Tree in New Horizons

Bell trees are a valuable resource in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as they provide players with a substantial amount of bells when fully grown. While these trees might seem like just another decoration at first, they can be a great addition to your island economy. Here's a guide on how to plant bell trees in New Horizons!

Step 1: Buy a Sapling

Before you can plant a bell tree, you will need to obtain a sapling. You can get a sapling by purchasing it from Timmy or Tommy's store, Nook's Cranny, for 1,000 bells. Alternatively, you can use a golden shovel to dig up a fully grown bell tree from another player's island or mystery island.

Step 2: Dig a Hole

Select a location on your island where you would like to plant your bell tree. The ideal location should be an open space where there is plenty of room for the tree to grow. Use a shovel to dig a hole in the ground. The hole should be one tile away from any other objects or trees and at least two tiles away from any cliff edges or bodies of water.

Step 3: Plant the Sapling

With the hole dug, it's time to plant your sapling. Place the sapling into the hole and cover it with the dirt. Make sure to water the newly planted sapling with a watering can. This is an essential step that will help the tree grow faster and healthier. Be aware that you will not receive any bells from the tree until it is fully grown.

Step 4: Wait for the Tree to Grow

Now, all you have to do is wait for the tree to grow. Bell trees take four days to fully grow and will produce three bags of bells on each branch. Each bag of bells will contain between 1,000 and 10,000 bells, making the total amount of bells available from one bell tree between 3,000 and 30,000!

Step 5: Harvest the Bells

After four days, when the tree is fully grown, it's time to harvest the bells. Use a net or a slingshot to hit the branches of the tree and shake them. This will cause bells to fall to the ground, which you can collect. The process can be repeated every four days, making bell trees a very valuable investment.

Conclusion

Planting bell trees is an excellent way to earn some extra bells in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With their high return on investment, bell trees can be a great way to earn money, pay off your loans, or invest in your island. Follow these simple steps to plant your first bell tree and start earning those bells!
