How Do Fruit Trees Work In Story Of Seasons?
In A Wonderful Life, there arefive basic fruit treesyou can plant at the beginning of the game, with an additional13 hybrid fruit treesto be made later on in addition to these.
When youplant a fruit tree, you’ll need to leave it some space to grow, which means thateach tree takes nine tiles totalto plant. With careful planting, youcan fit six trees in each lot.
When trees are planted, they’llneed a season to grow. After they’ve fully developed, there’s aset seasonin which the tree willflowerbefore finallyproducing fruitin the season after that.
Along the way, you’ll want tofertilize your fruit trees consistently,so that they grow to develophigher-grade fruits. Just like crops,fruits have different gradesthat effect theirtotal sale price, withhigher grades selling for more.
You’llneed alotof fertilizer to increase the grade of your trees, but then, thegrade boost applies to every fruitharvested from that tree.
After they’re planted, though,fruit trees don’t need to be watered, which is quite a time-saver.
Outside applying fertilizer, if you are, fruit trees are mostlyidle work, waiting for the plants to beready to harvest. When they are, you’ll seetwo different size fruits on the tree- a normal-sized piece of fruit, and a comically shrunken one.
Shake the treesby standing beneath them in order toharvest your fruitswhen the time comes. You can geta couple harvests per season, so check your trees often for fully-grown fruits.
Seeds Typically Sell For More With Low-Grade Fruits
Depending on thegradeof the fruit you’ve grown, you may find it more profitable toturn it into seedsby using the Seed Maker.
For everyone piece of fruityou put in, you’ll receivetwo seeds. Unless the fruit is of a high grade through constant fertilizing or breeding,two seeds often sell for more than one piece of fruit.
For example,one B-grade Orangesells for90g, buttwo Orange Seedsmade from that orange in the Seed Maker will sell for140g(70g each).
It takes some time to get the seeds out, and it’s not always worth it if the crop is of a higher grade, but Seed Making is a great way to increase the value of low-grade fruit.
