Each Fruit tree must be planted in the center of a clear 3x3 ground area in order to grow, though they may be placed next to a permanent structure (''i.e.,'' house or greenhouse). The 3x3 area must remain clear of objects, flooring, and terrain features (including grass); otherwise the tree will not grow. If overnight debris spawns that prevents Fruit Tree growth, the game will pop up a message in the morning saying the fruit tree could not grow that night. The 3x3 area also cannot overlap the area for another fruit tree; the game will not let you plant in this situation. Thus, the nearest you can plant saplings next to each other is with ''two'' tiles between them in every direction. | Each Fruit tree must be planted in the center of a clear 3x3 ground area in order to grow, though they may be placed next to a permanent structure (''i.e.,'' house or greenhouse).
