The '''Apple Tree''' is a type of [[Fruit Trees|fruit tree]] in [[Stardew Valley]]. It takes 28 days to grow to maturity, after which it will produce one [[Apple]] each day during the [[Fall]]. It can only grow in the center of a 3x3 square, each square of which must be kept completely clearof objects, flooring, and terrain features (including the canopy of other trees. Once mature, the surrounding tiles no longer need to be kept cleargrass).
For each full year since after maturing, fruit trees will produce higher quality fruit, up to iridium star quality after three years. '''Note''' that fruit quality will not increase if the surrounding tiles are not kept completely clear. Several players have reported that [[Crafting#Decor|crafted floors and paths]] as well as grass do '''not''' hinder the progression of quality fruit.
If struck by lightning during a [[Weather|storm]], the a fruit tree will produce [[Coal]] for a number of 4 days instead of fruit.
Fruit trees can be planted in the [[Greenhouse]].
