correction: fruit trees don't age at all if their area isn't kept clear of objects/flooring/terrain features
'''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. The 3x3 area must remain clear of objects or , flooring, and terrain features (including grass); otherwise the tree's development will be hinderednot grow or mature. Note that each fruit tree requires its own clear This 3x3 grid, not overlapping area also cannot overlap the 3x3 grid of area for another fruit tree. Thus, the nearest you can plant saplings next to each other is with ''two'' tiles between them in every direction.
A Fruit Tree is planted directly into [[Hoe|untilled]] ground. When fully grown, the surrounding area can be paved with [[Crafting#Decor|crafted floors or paths]]. 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]].
Fruit trees can be chopped down, and yield normal [[Wood|wood]]. Fruit trees can be struck by [[Weather|lightning]], causing them to become burnt for 4 days. During this time, they will not produce fruit, but will instead produce [[Coal|coal]]. After the 4 days are up, they will return to normal.
Fruit trees cannot be easily moved or relocated, they must be chopped down and replanted, unless editing game files. Take extra caution in planning and placing saplings, because the expensive sapling cannot be retrieved, and mature trees will take years to age again.
