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. If overnight debris spawns that prevents Fruit Tree growth, the game will pop up a message in the morning saying the fruit tree could not grow that night. The 3x3 area also cannot overlap the area for another fruit tree; the game will not let you plant in this situation. Thus, the nearest you can plant saplings next to each other is with ''two'' tiles between them in every direction. Fruit trees cannot be moved, and once planted the expensive saplings cannot be retrieved. | 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).
