'''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.,'' [[Farmhouse]]). "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.

Fruit tree saplings can be retrieved which was not possible up until the 1.6 update.

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.

A Fruit Tree is planted directly into [[Hoes|untilled]] ground. Fruit trees can grow in the [[Greenhouse]], in the center soil or around the border. Fruit trees planted in the greenhouse or on [[Ginger Island]] bear fruit every day after maturity, and will not change color according to the [[Seasons|season]].

Fruit trees can be chopped down, and yield normal [[wood]].

Fruit trees can be chopped down, yielding normal [[wood]] and a matching sapling of the same quality as the fruit. When chopped at stage 1 of growth, it will instead drop its respective sapling. High-quality saplings mature faster than normal: a silver sapling grows 2 times faster, a gold sapling grows 3 times faster, and an iridium sapling grows 5 times faster.<ref name="growth_rate" />

A complete set of all six fruit tree saplings costs a total of {{price|25400}} if purchased from [[Pierre's General Store]].

==Fruit Quality &amp; Price==

==Fruit Quality &amp; Price==

A tree's fruit increases in quality by one star per year of tree age after reaching maturity. Fruit trees will produce silver star fruit after one year, gold after two years, and iridium after three. Once the tree is fully grown, the surrounding area does not need to be kept clear for the tree's fruit to increase in quality.

A tree's fruit increases in quality by one star per year of tree age after reaching maturity. Fruit trees will produce silver star fruit after one year, gold after two years, and iridium after three. Higher-quality saplings will start producing higher-quality fruit faster (for example, an iridium-quality sapling will start to produce iridium-quality fruit 73 days after planting). Once the tree is fully grown, the surrounding area does not need to be kept clear for the tree's fruit to increase in quality.<ref name="quality" />

Fruit Tree fruit receives the [[Farming#Farming Skill|Tiller Profession]] price bonus when sold, and [[Jellies and Pickles|jelly]] or [[wine]] made from fruit tree fruit receives the [[Farming#Farming Skill|Artisan Profession]] price bonus when sold.

Banana and Mango Trees will grow and produce fruit year-round on [[Ginger Island]]. In the valley, they produce fruit only in Summer.

Note that [[Banana]]s and [[Mango]]s are not considered "Fruit Tree Fruit" for gifting purposes, but instead follow the villager's preferences for "non-Fruit Tree Fruit".

{{History|1.4|Removed prior condition where fruits grown by fruit trees would not increase in quality if the trees' 3x3 grid was not kept clear of objects, flooring, and terrain features (including grass). Fruit trees are no longer blocked from growing by artifact spots. Common tree seeds can no longer be placed one or two tiles away from a fruit tree sapling.}}
