When Can I Plant Fruit Trees in Stardew Valley?

If you're a fan of Stardew Valley, you'll know that planting and growing crops is a huge part of the game. But what about fruit trees? When can you plant them, and how do you care for them? In this article, we'll answer all your questions about planting fruit trees in Stardew Valley.

When Can You Plant Fruit Trees?

Fruit trees can be planted at any time of year, but there are some factors to consider. Firstly, you'll need to have access to the fruit tree saplings. These can be purchased from Pierre at Pierre's General Store for 2,500g each. You'll also need to have reached farming level 6, so that you have access to the fruit tree recipe.

Once you have the saplings and have reached farming level 6, you can plant the fruit trees on your farm. When you place the sapling, it will take 28 days to grow into a mature tree that will start producing fruit.

How to Care for Fruit Trees

Once you've planted your fruit trees, you'll need to take care of them so that they continue to produce fruit. Here are some tips:

Water your trees every day to ensure they are properly hydrated.

Fertilize your trees with Tree Fertilizer, which can be purchased from Pierre's General Store or crafted with sap and any fish.

Use a Scythe to clear any grass or weeds that grow around your trees.

Ensure your trees have enough space to grow - they need to be planted at least one space apart.

Protect your trees from crows by placing a scarecrow nearby.

Keep in mind that during the winter season, fruit trees will not produce fruit. So plan accordingly and harvest your fruit before winter arrives.

Types of Fruit Trees

There are four types of fruit trees in Stardew Valley:

Apricot Tree - produces Apricots in the summer.

Apple Tree - produces Apples in the fall.
