'''Trees''' will grow around the player's town in the {{SER}}. They can also be bought at all of [[Tom Nook's store]]s 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 {{AF}} and {{PG}} users.) as a reward. Fully grown trees do not die.

'''Trees''' are common flora in the {{SER}}. Some trees bear fruit and others are just for decoration. The number of trees will affect the environment of a town and keeping a sustained good environment will allow the player to receive certain items, such as the Golden Watering Can (or [[Golden Axe]] in {{AF}} and {{PG}}), as a reward. Fully grown trees do not die until chopped down by the player. Certain [[insect]]s can be found in or on trees, depending on the season and time of day.
  
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 [[bug|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.
