Tree

Trees will grow around the player's town in the. They can also be bought at all of Tom Nook's stores after the initial remodeling, whereby they can be planted and grown. Not all trees grow successfully, however, due to poor quality soil. Although, planting a lucky clover next to the sapling increases the player's chances. If the player plants a tree where a different tree was cut down then it will definitely grow. The number of trees will affect the environment of a town. A sustained good environment will allow the player to receive the Golden Watering Can (or Golden Axe for and  users.) as a reward. Fully grown trees do not die.

Sometimes there will be items in trees, such as furniture or Bells. To get them out, the player must shake the tree. A beehive may also fall out of the tree once shaken, accompanied by a swarm. The swarm of bees chases the player until the player is stung, the player enters a building, or the bees are caught in a net. Other insects may be found in or on trees, depending on the season and time of day. Players can only find items in oak trees and cedar trees.

The player's "mom" may send them fruit. The player may plant the fruit and with that, it will grow a fruit tree that has fruit worth more bells than the native fruit. You can grow apple, orange, cherry, and many more kinds of fruit trees. Also, If you find a coconut on the beach, you can plant it to grow a coconut palm tree, which will stay green year-round. (See next paragraph.) You can shake the fruit trees to get 3 pieces of fruit, but if you shake a coconut palm, you'll only get two pieces.

Non-fruit-bearing trees turn pink during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Every tree is laden with snow during winter and turn golden brown in autumn (except coconut palms). If a player stays up until 6am and stands on a tree sapling at exactly 6am, the tree will grow under them and knock the player out.

In, trees have their appearance radically changed, and look more realistic. Players can also now sit on tree stumps.

Cedar Tree
These trees are evergreen trees, similar to pine trees in real life. At Christmas time and New Year they get decorated with bright lights. Cedar trees will only grow in the north side of the village, reflecting the fact that their real-life counterparts are native to mountains.

Oak Tree
The generic 'tree', it resembles a fruit tree but actually doesn't bear fruit. It can be shaken for beehives, bags of Bells and furniture. These trees turn brown in the autumn, and also get covered with snow in the winter. They can bear cherry blossoms during April.

Fruit Tree
This tree bears fruit, three at a time. During the Acorn Festival they also bear acorns. There are 5 different kinds of fruit trees, one for each type of fruit available in-game. A player is able to receive a piece of non-native fruit in letters from Mom or from other villagers. After which they can then be grown into a fruit-bearing tree. Bells cannot be shaken out of empty fruit trees.

Coconut Palm
This tree can only bear coconuts, two of them. This tree can only be planted near the beach, and can only be grown from a coconut arriving on the player's shore. Alternative names include palms or palm trees. There are some beetles that only appear in palm trees.

Coconuts usually come around at least once a week. In, coconuts can only be obtained by visiting the island using a Game Boy Advance.

Money Tree


The Money Tree is a rare tree that bears money as its fruit. They can be grown by burying bells in the ground with a golden shovel. See the main article for more info. To maximize potential return and minimize expected loss, the player should bury 30,000 bells.

Golden Tree
This tree only appears in, where golden shovels grow from it. It is a golden color. They are grown by planting a shovel in a shining spot that appears once a day in the players village.
