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.,'' [[Farmhouse]]). "Clear" means free of objects, flooring/paths, and terrain features including grass, but not including [[Artifact Spot|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. | 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.,'' [[Farmhouse]]).
