Plant and Harvest an Orchard Apple Tree
Build the Orchard apple tree for a repeatable red-apple supply, separate from Kitchen Garden crops and wild apple gathering.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Plant and Harvest an Orchard Apple Tree
The Orchard south of the home; use its workbench to place the apple tree. Clotho sells Tree Apple Seedlings in the Swamp.
Before you go
- Unlock the Transplanting technology for the apple-tree placement blueprint.
- Unlock Woodcutter and clear dead trees blocking Orchard space.
- Buy one Tree Apple Seedling from Clotho in the Swamp.
- Bring three Peat and two Wooden Sticks for Place for the apple tree, plus inventory room for apples.
Farming steps
- Open the Technology menu and unlock Transplanting if it is not available.
- Unlock Woodcutter and remove the dead trees occupying the Orchard area.
- Travel to Clotho in the Swamp and buy a Tree Apple Seedling.
- Bring the seedling, three Peat and two Wooden Sticks to the Orchard workbench.
- Select Place for the apple tree and supply the listed materials to build the planting spot.
- Let the planted tree mature; no fixed harvest timer is needed for this route.
- Return to the Orchard and interact with the mature tree to pick its red apples.
- Carry apples to storage or the recipe station that needs them, then leave the tree in place for another harvest.
- The Orchard is a separate production area from the Kitchen Garden; build the tree at its own workbench.
- Apply the exact Place for the apple tree recipe inputs: one seedling, three Peat and two Wooden Sticks.
Repeat, collect and use
After the one-time technology and construction setup, return to the mature Orchard tree and harvest apples whenever they are available. Keep the tree planted for later harvests.
Common mistakes
- Planting in an ordinary garden bed: use the Orchard workbench and Place for the apple tree blueprint.
- Going to the lighthouse for the repeatable farm: the supported planted route is the Orchard; Clotho sells the seedling.
- Arriving without Peat or Wooden Sticks: bring three Peat and two Wooden Sticks with the seedling.
- Cutting down the planted tree after harvest: leave it in the Orchard for future fruit.
When to stop or switch
Stop harvesting once the apple reserve covers your planned recipes; return to the Orchard when you need more red apples.
