Stardew Valley: Fruit Tree Guide (2023)

FAQs

What are the rules for fruit trees in Stardew Valley? ›

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.

Tree Fertilizer is a Fertilizer that speeds the growth of wild trees. It must be sprinkled on a tree seed or sapling that has already been planted, not on an unplanted tile.

Harvesting Fruit

Up to three fruits can stack at a time; i.e., if the player does not harvest their fruit on the first two days of a season, they can harvest three fruits on the third day. Once there are three fruits on the tree, no more will spawn until they are harvested.

2 Ancient Fruit

The Ancient Fruit nudges out the Sweet Gem Berry as the most valuable crop in Stardew Valley because it doesn't need to be replanted, and grows through all seasons - including Winter if planted in a Greenhouse.

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.

When fruit trees are struck by lightning they become charred- they'll produce coal instead of fruit for a few days. They return to normal after about a week, but it's an interesting way to get coal.

Increase the fertilizer application as the tree ages to continuously boost growth. In the fruit tree's second year, use one pound of 21-0-0 fertilizer. In the third year, use 1.5 pounds of the same fertilizer. Every year thereafter, increase the amount of fertilizer you use by a pound.

You could create what's sometimes called a fruit-cocktail tree by grafting a nectarine together with, say, a peach, a plum and an apricot, or manipulating a lemon tree to also grow grapefruits.

However, planting two or more varieties will ensure that trees consistently bear fruit. Fruit trees that require cross pollination by another variety are self-unfruitful. In this case, pollen from the same variety is not capable of reaching the unfertilized seed or ovule within the flower.

Do you need 2 fruit trees? ›

Most fruit trees require pollination between two or more trees for fruit to set, or for pollen to transfer from the male bloom to the female bloom. Pollination occurs when the trees blossom. Pollen from the anthers (the male part of the plant) has to be transferred to the stigma (the female part of the plant).

Fruit trees fail to bear fruit for four general reasons: failure to form flowers, winter injury or frost damage to flower buds and flowers, lack of pollination, and insect damage to the fruits. Observations during bloom and early fruit growth enable us to determine which of these has caused the lack of fruitfulness.

Undoubtedly in the backyard situation the number one reason for failure of trees to bear fruit is improper tree vigor. Over vigorous trees expend all their energy in growing wood and do not produce flower buds. Typically, this occurs for two reasons: over-fertilization and over-pruning.

4 He Has A Crush On Abigail

To learn all the details of Sebastian's crush on Abigail, a player would need to marry several different bachelor(ette)s. The first little hint, however, is that Abigail dances with Sebastian at Pelican Town's Flower Dance.

By unlocking the Sewers, the player will gain access to the Statue of Uncertainty. This strange shrine allows them to change Professions as often as they'd like, for a price, of course. It can be beneficial to change Professions often.

During the event, the game engine will choose 10 farm tiles at random. If any of those 10 tiles have a fully grown, untapped common tree (or tree stump), then that tree will transform into a Mushroom Tree (or Mushroom Stump).

What promotes fruit growth? ›

Nitrogen (N), Potassium (K) and Calcium (Ca) are the most critical nutrients, increasing growth, and improving fruit yields and quality.

Plan to plant at least two varieties of pear trees, as they will need to be cross-pollinated to produce fruit. Make sure the varieties are compatible with each other. Space standard-size trees 20 to 25 feet apart.

Maximize the harvest – By pruning your fruit tree you will stimulate the growth of new, fruit-bearing wood. Control the growth – You will be able to control the direction of the new growth, allowing for maximum harvest, sunlight and airflow.

The quickest fruits to grow are strawberries, blackberries and autumn-fruiting raspberries. These plants should all produce a crop of berries in the first year after planting.

Apricot. Even a single tree is enough to grow in the garden because it will produce self-pollinated fruit. This tree grows faster, but it takes 2 years to start bearing fruit. The sweetness of apricots tastes best when fresh.

Fruit crops are a major part of agricultural production. Based on production quantities, the most popular fresh fruits worldwide in order are bananas, apples and grapes. Bananas and apples are grown on trees, and watermelons are grown on thick vines.

Sam Van Aken created the Tree of 40 Fruit by grafting buds from various stone fruit trees onto the branches of a single tree, making it capable of producing multiple types of fruit. This is an artist rendering of what a 10-year-old tree would look like in full bloom.

What tree can produce 40 types of fruit? ›

Van Aken's Tree of 40 Fruit, an invention that's just what it sounds like, is capable of producing 40 different varieties of fruit—plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries and others.

The Tree of 40 Fruit is a single tree that grows forty different types of stone fruit including peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries, and almonds.

Most types of peach trees are self-fertile, so planting one tree is all that's needed for fruit production.

If the apple tree is flowering but not setting fruit, the lack of fruit may be due to poor pollination. Apples are self-unfruitful. Two different flowering apple trees (cultivars) need to be located within 50 to 100 feet of one another to insure pollination and fruit set.

Many fruit trees are propagated by grafting or from cuttings. These asexual methods are used for fruit trees without seeds as well as for many with seeds. Grafting or propagation from cuttings creates a new tree genetically identical to the parent plant, a desirable outcome for getting a reliable fruit harvest.

The birds help fertilize plants in the same way as any other pollinator—by transferring pollen (via their bills) from one flower to another as they flit between plants feeding on nectar. Bird pollination mainly occurs in tropical regions, where they help pollinate a few food crops, including bananas, papaya and nutmeg.

Cross-pollination is essential for apples, pears, most sweet cherries, and most Japanese plums. Cross-pollination is not essential, but does improve the number of fruit that form on apricots, European plums/prunes, tart cherries, peaches and nectarines. Pollen is primarily transferred by honeybees.

Some tree species are dioecious, meaning they produce single sex flowers (either male or female). Male flowers produce pollen and no fruits and female flowers bear seeds or fruits.

Rare Seeds can also be produced from a Sweet Gem Berry using the Seed Maker. Despite its high value, the berry is regarded as a neutral gift by everyone in Stardew Valley. However, if you give one to Old Master Cannoli in the Secret Woods, you will get a Stardrop in return, and your Energy will increase permanently.

Purchasing Rare Seeds from the Traveling Cart (between 600 and 1,000 gold) is the most profitable way to grow the Sweet Gem Berry, which has a base value of 3,000 gold.

Are pineapples in Stardew Valley? ›

The Pineapple is a fruit grown by planting a Pineapple Seed, waiting 14 days for it to grow into a pineapple bush, and harvesting it during Summer on The Farm or at any time on Ginger Island's Farm.

Wine is the most valuable artisan good that players can make, as it is worth three times the value of the fruit that's placed in the keg to make it. Once the fruit has been turned into wine, it can be put into a cask, just like pale ale, and aged to increase its quality.

Pigs are easily considered to be one of the best animals in Stardew Valley. This is solely because of their ability to dig up Truffles. These Truffles are worth plenty of gold, and the more pigs players buy, the more truffles there are to sell!

Starfruit is, in many ways, both the most iconic and most profitable crop in Stardew Valley. It sells for a massive 750g, twice its buying price of 400g from the Oasis Shop, which must be unlocked by completing the Vault Community Center bundle.

Ancient fruit is one of the most profitable crops in Stardew Valley, but it takes a little bit of time and effort to grow in surplus.

Dairy Farming: Dairy farming is one of the most profitable agricultural business ideas. Aside from milk, it also produces manure. There is a high demand for organic dairy products all year round such as milk, cheese, curd, cream and so much more.

Oak, Maple, and Pine trees will sprout and reach sapling size even if planted right next to another tree, but they cannot reach their full maturity if within one square of a fully grown tree, so the 3x3 square technique is better if you're planting them to harvest sap or make a nice decorative park.

Neither fruit trees nor regular crops can be planted outside of the farm.

Fruit trees can be grown on any tile in the exterior region of the greenhouse that is unoccupied by decorations, so long as other tiles adjacent to each tree are empty of items the player has placed there. Neither the greenhouse walls nor the wood border around the crop rectangle alone impede fruit tree growth.

Does Stardew Valley require a scarecrow for fruit trees? ›

Scarecrows are not needed to protect crops grown from Wild Seeds, since crows do not attack them.

Tree stumps will not regrow into trees. They actually stop more trees from growing. You should always chop stumps. Wild 'growth' on your farm will always grow more of the same stuff around it if you leave it alone.

Any pre-existing trees that are chopped down outside the farm, and the stumps removed, have a 20% chance per night of reappearing as a stage 3 seedling (even in winter). After reappearing, it will grow as normal into a mature tree. If the stump is not removed, the tree will not regrow.

No you can't, even the description of the tapper says just Pine, Maple and Oak trees. well you can tap those giant mushroom tree things. ...

In my experience, fruit trees are a worth it investment, especially if you get them early game. You can earn good money alongside farming crops and taking care of your animals. This guide will help first-time players and veterans alike and tell them all about fruit trees.

Grasses are highly competitive and will deprive fruit trees of the water and nutrients they need to thrive. Grass root systems are finely divided and are very efficient at removing water and nutrients from soils.

Though some plants can be sheared as hedges, espaliered against sunny walls, kept on trellises or in large containers, fruit plants need space for air circulation and maintenance. Plant tall trees and shrubs north of smaller ones, and, when practical, run rows and vines north and south to get maximum sun.

The pollen grains on the anther of the flower need to fall into the stigma of the same flower in order to get pollinated. You can easily help the self-pollinating blossoms by tapping or vibrating them. A healthy airflow in the greenhouse may already provide enough movement.

if you plant fruit trees in the greenhouse will they still only produce fruit during one season? Nope! It will produce fruit.... Continuously!
