How long until you can see your town history

This link has some pretty good information on 'Perfect Fruits'. It looks like when you plant a 'Perfect fruit' tree you get a random amount of shakes before it dies. It would be pointless to NOT plant/shake the tree when you have them available. You should always have some perfect fruits on hand for when your 'Perfect Fruit' trees die.

Sidenote from the site: Perfect fruits sold in towns that the fruit is not native nets you 3000 bells (compared to the 600 in your town). So definitely sell your perfect fruits in your friends towns!

Note that you cannot plant perfect fruits of non-native species; if your fruit is orange, you cannot plant perfect peaches; they will instead turn into normal peach trees. However, if you imported a perfect orange into your town where oranges are native, you could plant that orange and it would become a perfect orange tree.

All growable fruits can be planted in all towns. There are the following restrictions:

• Palm trees only grow on sand, i.e. your beach. Palm trees are Coconut and Banana trees. These are easy to identify by the unique shape and the fact that they produce two fruits at a time, not three.

  • This includes Bananas and Coconuts

• Deciduous trees (including island fruit!) only grow in dirt, so not on your beach. These are all trees that have 3 fruits per tree, including the island fruit. Even on the island, deciduous trees won't grow in sand (a common mistake).

  • This includes pears, oranges, cherries, peaches, apples, durians, lyches, lemons, mangos and persimmons

• You cannot plant Perfect Fruit trees for non-native fruit. Non-native perfect fruits will grow into regular trees of that fruit. Native perfect fruits will grow into trees that grow more perfect fruit before eventually (randomly) dying.

  • This means to get the most out of perfect fruit (3,000 bells per) you will need to grow lots of native perfect fruit and bring it to a town where it is not native for selling.
