The Orchard functions similarly to the Field and Garden, where you plant seeds in the plots of land inside. You can then:

  • Water the trees whenever the water drop icon appears
  • Make the trees grow faster via a music minigame

Once the fruits are harvested, you can either give them directly to spirits or use them as ingredients for meals. Unlike the Field and Garden, the trees you plant in the Orchard can’t be removed or cut down.

This guide will cover everything you need to know about growing trees in the Orchard.

How To Unlock the Orchard

Initially, the Orchard can be unlocked by going to Albert’s Shipyard and purchasing the Craftsman Blueprint Station upgrade. This requires:

Purchasing this upgrade unlocks the blueprints for the Orchard, along with the Sheep Corral and Windmill. Alternatively, once the spirit Alice is on your ship, she will request for the Orchard via the “Apples and Oranges” request. She will also teach you how to plant inside.

If you don’t have Alice yet, you can find her outside a house in Mount Toroyama (X: -99, Y: 34). She will ask you to corral two sheep and build her a cottage before joining your ship.

How To Build the Orchard

Orchard Building Requirements
Material Where/How to Get
8 Oak Planks Made by cutting Oak Logs at the Sawmill.

You can get Oak Logs by cutting trees in:

  • Resuteno Meadows (X: -97, Y: -25)
  • Iwashima Countryside (X: -64, Y: 16)
  • Gurenu Fields (X: -65, Y: 55)
4 Nebula Threads Nebula Thread is made by weaving Nebula Fiber at the Loom, and Nebula Fiber is collected from the Nebula Pillbugs event that Alice introduces to you.

If you want to plant more trees, you can build more than one Orchard. However the cost of the requirements double with each new one you build.

After building the Orchard, Alice will go inside and teach you how to plant trees. Here’s how:

Step 1: Enter and interact with any of the two plots.

Step 2: Your inventory will then open, and you can pick any fruit seed that’s available. If you don’t have any, you can buy seeds from the Raccoon Shops all over the map.

Step 3: Confirm the seed you want to plant, and make sure to water it whenever the water drop logo appears. Do this until the seed grows into a tree.

Step 4: Once the trees are fully grown, they will start bearing fruit. You can then harvest the fruits and wait for the trees to grow them again.

Note that you can’t cut down any of the trees in your orchard, unless you’re removing the entire orchard itself.

All Plantable Seeds

Here are all of the seeds you can plant in the Orchard:

Seed Output
Apple Seed 4 Apples
Cherry Seed 7 Cherries
Peach Seed 4 Peaches
Pear Seed 3 Pears
Mulberry Seed 5 Silk Fibers
Olive Seed 7 Olives

You can play the “Plantasia Fantastica” song to help the trees grow fruit faster.

Additionally, you can also make the trees grow faster by playing the “Plantasia Fantastica” song. This is introduced to you by the spirit Summer via her “Jiving Chives” request. Here’s how to play it:

Step 1: Stand beside any of the tree sprouts and hold the interact button.

Step 2: Stella will start playing guitar, and you need to play the correct notes that come out on the screen.

Step 3: The more notes you hit, the faster the tree will grow.

You can play this song anytime to make the trees in the Orchard either grow faster or bear fruit.

To get the upgrade, go to Obscure Canopy (X: 187, Y: 87) and talk to Barry the Berry Picker. He will ask you for:
