Introduction

Money trees are a beloved feature of the Animal Crossing series. These trees give players the chance to earn a substantial amount of Bells in a short amount of time. But how do you plant a money tree in Animal Crossing?

Step One: Obtaining a Money Tree

Before you can plant a money tree, you need to obtain one. Money trees are typically found in two different ways. The first is to shake trees on your island and hope that a money bag falls out. These bags can contain anywhere from 100 to 1,000 Bells. The second way to obtain a money tree is to purchase a sapling from Tom Nook's store. These saplings cost 1,000 Bells each.

Step Two: Choosing a Location

Once you have a money tree sapling, you need to choose a location to plant it. Money trees need to be planted in the ground, not in pots like other trees. Look for an open area of your island that has enough space for the tree to grow. When choosing a location, keep in mind that the tree will eventually have bags of Bells growing on it. You want to make sure there is plenty of room for these bags to fall without getting stuck in other objects.

Step Three: Planting the Tree

With your location chosen, it's time to plant the tree. To do this, simply stand in front of the spot where you want the tree to go and select the money tree sapling from your inventory. When you select the sapling, your character will dig a hole in the ground and plant the tree.

Step Four: Watering the Tree

Once your tree is planted, you need to water it. To do this, simply equip your watering can and use it on the tree. You only need to water the tree once, and then it will start to grow.

Step Five: Waiting for the Tree to Grow

Money trees take three days to fully grow. During this time, you need to make sure the tree is watered each day. After three days, your money tree will be fully grown and will have bags of Bells growing on it.

Step Six: Harvesting the Money Tree

After your money tree has fully grown, it's time to harvest the Bells. To do this, simply approach the tree and shake it. Bags of Bells will fall out, and you can pick them up to add them to your inventory. Each bag will contain three times the amount of Bells that you initially planted.

Conclusion

Planting a money tree in Animal Crossing is a fun and rewarding process. By following these simple steps, you can grow your own money tree and earn a substantial amount of Bells. So start planting and happy harvesting!
