Fruit tree

Fruit trees will grow over the course of 28 days and yield 3 fruit of their respective type when harvested by the Player. These trees take 4 days to regrow and will continue to bear fruit while in-season. These trees will not wither while out-of-season, do not need to be watered. There must be nothing in a 5x5 tile space (24 surrounding tiles) for trees to grow, though this can overlap with the 24 surrounding tiles of other trees.

Mechanics

A variety of saplings can be purchased at Sam's General Store once the player has reached Town Rank C. Fruit tree saplings are available for sale all year.

Fruit trees do not have to be watered every day, as they will grow like Oak and Pine trees. Once mature, fruit trees will not wither and will instead remain year-long. but will only bear fruits on their respective seasons. When a fruit trees is ready to harvest, the player can shake the tree by interacting with it.

Any fruit tree can be removed from its tile during any growth stage by hitting it with an axe.

Quality

The Player can increase the quality of fruit from fruit trees by upgrading the fruit tree seed in Ling's Lab.

This will require the Player to bring some kelp essence and money to Ling. After two days, the seed upgrade will complete. Increasing seed quality means a higher chance to harvest high quality fruit, which sell for a higher price. Here's how seed quality affects fruit sale prices.
