List of Fruit Trees

Starting Fruits

Fruit Name
Apple	Cherry	Orange
Peach	Pear	-

Each island will start with a random fruit on many of the trees in the island. This is called their native fruit.

Other kinds of fruits are quite rare to obtain, if you're not going to another player's island.

Other Fruits

Fruit Name
Coconut

Coconuts are easy to acquire as they're common in Mystery Island Tours. You can grow them on your island too, just keep in mind that they can only be planted on the beach.

What Fruit Did You Start With?

Fruit Prices

Native Fruit	100 Bells 500 Bells (on other islands with a different native fruit)
Foreign Fruit*	500 Bells Foreign fruit refers to any other type of fruit that is not native to your island
Coconut	250 Bells

Native Fruit Sells for 100 Bells

Fruits that originally grew on your island cost 100 Bells. It's very cheap and also sold in your island's Nook's Cranny

Foreign Fruit Sells for 500 Bells

Fruits that weren't on your island, but from someone else's island are sold for 500 Bells.

These are called foreign fruits and can catch a hefty price. If you want to earn Bells through fruits, it's highly recommended that you visit a friend's island with a different native fruit!

Coconuts Sells for 250 Bells

Coconuts acquired from beaches and mystery islands cost 250 Bells.

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 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!

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!

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.
