Plants

Plants are the cornerstone of advancing in the Farmdale world. Plants can be harvested to sell at the market or used to create other items. Several quests are dependent upon growing or selling specific amounts of a crop. Players gain experience points by harvesting plants, where higher level plants award more experience points. More plants can be unlocked by leveling up. Special plants may become available during game events.

Planting and Harvesting
Most plants must be grown using garden beds. Garden beds or Fertile Garden Beds can be purchased at the shop stand and occupy a single square on the game board. Garden beds are limited to the number of unoccupied squares located in territories owned by the player.

Aside from fruits and nuts grown on trees, plants will wither if not harvested within 7 days of maturity. Withered plants cannot be sold and must be cleared before planting new crops.

Trees
Unlike crops, trees are not grown using garden beds and occupy approximately 2 to 4 game squares. Trees can either be purchased as seedlings from the shop stand or will already be present on territories. Seedlings must be watered 3 times before bearing fruit. Young fruit trees produce 1 or 2 fruit. Older trees that have been watered multiple times will produce 2 to 4 fruit with each harvest..
