How to Grow Fruit Trees
Dig Up a Hole and Bury a Fruit
To grow your own fruit tree, you can use a shovel to dig up a hole, and bury a fruit with it. The tree will be fully-grown in 4 days.
Make sure you have enough space!
If your fruit tree isn't growing, there's a chance that other trees or buildings are too close to it.
To grow, your fruit tree needs at least 1 free space around it, so that's 8 spaces in total.
Plant Palm Trees on Sandy Beaches
Make sure that you're planting Palm Trees on sand, as they'll wither on ordinary ground. However, you'll need to find Coconuts on Mystery Tours first.
How to Get Palm Trees on Your Island
How to Get Fruit
- Shake Fruit Off Trees
- Get from Other Players' Islands
- Get from Mystery Tour Islands
- Get from Mom's Letter
Shake Fruit Off Trees
You can press A in front of a tree to shake it. You can then pick up the fallen fruits by pressing the Y button.
Fruit grows back in 3 days
Fruits grow back 3 days after you've harvested them.
If you're planning to craft DIY items that require fruits, it's best to keep a small stock stored instead of selling everything, since three days can be quite a long wait.
Fruits don't rot or spoil
In previous Animal Crossing games, you could grow something called Perfect Fruits, those could spoil if left too long.
However, since Perfect Fruit doesn't exist in New Horizons, none of your fruits will spoil.
Get from Other Players' Islands
If your family of friends have different fruits on their islands than yours, visit each other though Local or Online play and share fruits with each other. Your friends can also mail you the fruits if you can't visit their islands!
How to Play Online
Use our Trading Board!
You can also use our Fruit and Recipe Trading Board to trade fruits with other players!
Get from Mystery Tour Islands
You can use Nook Miles Tickets to go on Mystery Tours to deserted islands, those will sometimes have fruits that differ from your starting fruit.
Just make sure you have plenty of space in your inventory to bring back as many fruits and goods as possible!
Mystery Island Tours and Nook Miles Ticket Guide
Get from Mom's Letter
In the beginning of the game, you'll get a letter from Mom with a fruit attached to it.
This fruit will always be different from your starting/native fruit, so we recommend planting it to increase your fruit tree types as early as possible!
Can You Eat Fruit?
Like in past Animal Crossing games, you can eat fruit by selecting them from your pockets, and choosing to eat 1.
In New Horizons, there is a new feature that comes with eating fruits. You get a temporary strength boost that allows you to pull up trees, and break rocks.
What Happens When You Eat Fruit
Fills Up Your Stamina Gauge
You can eat fruits to get up to 10 points of stamina, as indicated by the stamina gauge at the top left of the screen, allowing you to do things you can't normally do in the game.
Other items that can be eaten such as turnips and bamboo shoots also give the same effect.
Allows You to Move Trees
With the temporary strength boost, you can dig up trees and replant them using a shovel. Pulling up a tree costs you 1 point of stamina.
How to Pull Up Trees
Allows You to Break Rocks
Using a shovel on a rock will break it, so be careful when you're only trying to farm for ore and other materials.
When a rock is destroyed, it will spawn on a random spot the next day. Breaking a rock costs 1 point of stamina.
How to Break Rocks
How to Remove the Fruit Buff
Sit on a Toilet
To get rid of the fruits in your tummy, you can use a toilet to flush out your stamina points, if you get what we're saying.
Replant Trees in the Same Place
If you don't have a toilet, you can go the long way which is digging up trees and planting them in the same place, just so you can use up the stamina points.
Craft DIY Recipes Using Fruits

Can You Get Perfect Fruit in New Horizons?
