'''Fruit Trees''' require 28 days to mature, after which they produce one [[Fruits|fruit]] per day when in season. Fruit can accumulate up to three days before harvesting. Fruit trees do not need to be watered, and will not die in the winter.  Fruit saplings will grow during any season, allowing players to plant and prepare for upcoming seasons to bear fruit.

Each Fruit tree must be planted in the center of a clear 3x3 ground area, except that they may be placed next to a permanent structure (''i.e.,'' house or greenhouse). "Clear" means free of objects, flooring/paths, and terrain features including grass, but not including artifact spots<ref name="grow_blocked" />. The 3x3 clear planting area also must not overlap the 3x3 area of another fruit tree. The game prevents planting fruit trees too close to each other, ensuring a minimum distance of two tiles between them in every direction. Fruit trees cannot be moved, and once planted, the expensive saplings cannot be retrieved.

While a fruit tree sapling is immature, the 3x3 area around it must remain clear in order for the sapling to grow. If overnight debris spawns too close to it, the game pops up a message the next morning saying the fruit tree could not grow that night. Objects placed next to a sapling cause the same message and growth obstruction. Once a fruit tree is mature, growth is no longer an issue, and one fruit is produced each day in season. Then objects, including flooring/paths, may be placed next to the fruit tree without hindering production.
