Town Tree

The town tree is the signature tree located in the center of the town's Event Plaza in. At the beginning of the game, the player who is designated the mayor will plant the sapling in the plaza's center while participating in a ceremony along with Isabelle and the town's villagers. The sapling will grow at a steady rate based on the amount of time that the player has played the game, going through five different stages of growth until it peaks at a humongous size. After the tree grows to a certain size, the player can sit on the brick wall surrounding the tree, allowing them to view a list of accomplishments and statistics made during their time as mayor. The music played during that time is a medley of the title screen, Tortimer Island, and Main Street themes. The credits appear while sitting on the edge of the garden that the tree is planted in.

During the autumn season, the town tree will begin to lose its leaves, and will be almost completely bare during winter. However, once spring comes back around, the tree will regain its leaves.
