If you’re a fan of Animal Crossing, you know how important it is to have fruit trees on your island. In this guide, we’ll show you how to plant trees properly in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Firstly, you’ll need some fruit. Each fruit tree grows three fruit, and each of those fruit can be used to plant a new fruit tree that will grow three more fruit. Once you’ve picked your fruit, it’s time to start planting.
The key to planting trees properly is to imagine that Animal Crossing’s Island is created in a grid of squares. You’ll want to dig your holes on this grid with one space between each hole. If the holes are too close together, the tree won’t grow. Each of these holes has a square on each side of them, so if you can run around the hole, it’s acceptable, and your tree will grow.
Let’s say we want to plant six fruit trees. Dig six holes with one space between each hole. Each of these six holes has one full square space around them, and you’re going to plant your oranges in them. Once you’re facing the hole, it will say plant, and you need to hold your shovel in order to plant. If you’re not holding your shovel, it will not allow you to plant.
So, we’ve used six oranges to plant six trees that will grow 18 out of time. And there you have it! That’s how you plant trees properly in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Remember, if there’s a space clear around all of them, they will grow.
Now you can have a bountiful orchard on your Animal Crossing island. Happy planting!
