add that two-tile planting distance restriction applies to distance from normal trees also
'''Fruit Trees''' require 28 days to mature, after which they produce one fruit per day when in season. Fruit can be allowed to accumulate up to three days before harvesting. Fruit trees do not need to be watered, and will not die in the winter. Fruit saplings will grow during any season, allowing players to plant and prepare for upcoming season to bear fruit.
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 (or to normal trees) is with ''two'' tiles between them in every direction.
A Fruit Tree is planted directly into [[Hoes|untilled]] ground. Fruit trees can grow in the [[Greenhouse]], in the center soil or around the border. Fruit trees planted in the greenhouse will bear fruit every day after maturity, and will not change color according to the [[season]].
