What to Do When Ornaments Don't Appear

Grow Cedar (Pine) Trees

Ornaments are only displayed on Cedar trees. Other trees such as hardwoods and fruit trees do not spawn ornaments.

Prepare Empty Spaces on the Ground

Similar to fruits, ornaments will disappear when there's no available space for them to fall into. Make sure you have enough space for the best yields!
