What Happens When You Eat Fruit?

Eating fruit will give you stamina in Animal Crossing: New Horions (ACNH), which will allow you to move trees and break rocks in-game. To learn how to enable the buff and how to remove it, make sure to read our guide!

What Does Eating Fruit Do?

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 cannot 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 boost of strength, you can dig up trees and replant them using a shovel. Pulling up a tree costs you 1 point of stamina.

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 Eat 10 Pieces of Fruit at Once

You can only eat 1 piece of fruit at a time

This goes for other foods as well, like bamboo shoots and mushrooms, except for turnips. You can eat 10 turnips at a time, but we recommend selling them instead!

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 opt for digging up trees and planting them in the same place, making you use up stamina points.
