Animal Crossing Weirdness - vanishing sapling!

Dolphin · Oct 8, 2002

I recently acquired an "apple" from one of my town's NPCs (non-player characters) in a trade deal. I was excited about this since the only indigenous fruit tree in my town are pear trees. I took the apple I received and planted it last Friday. I didn't play the game all weekend, and when I fired it up on Monday morning, I discovered that my apple tree sapling had disappeared without a trace. What the hell happened to my tree, and is this a typical occurance? Would anyone like to trade a pear for any other type of fruit in this game?

that sucks..... lol

I have not heard of that happening.

all my trees are apple trees. CAn you grown "foreign" fruit trees in your town? I cannot seem to acquire a different fruit other than apples.

I must say this game is too cool....

It seems like more of my saplings die than grow to maturity.

I wish I knew what made them grow, and what killed them.

I know walking over saplings/flowers kills them, but not anything else.

It happens if: 1) you planted too close to another tree; plant at least three spaces away from the nearest tree so it doesn't happen again. 2) you planted too close to a water source, i.e. - stream, pond, ocean, etc; water has the opposite effect in AC and basically "drowns" your sapling if you plant too close to water.

That's what I've noticed anyway...

I think your saping died.

Normally you'll know by the next day. If your sapling is sagging and looks like there's a bit mark on it, then it's dead. If you wait longer, it might just disappear.

I don't know if its caused by bugs or if you need to plant it at a certain time of year.

It's annoying too. I *think* I've managed to grow a pear trees in my peach-land. But anything after that failed. I've lost an Orange that way. I've still got a pear and a cherry in my basement. I don't want to plant those yet.
