I always cut down my fruit trees when I want to move them, but these are from my greenhouse, so I’ve left them alone. Do the fruits increase in value the longer the tree is static!?!?
If so, I feel sooo stupid. I mean, I have a steady supply of Iridium quality fruits bc I chose the fruit bat cave and I have botanist profession, but still.
yes every year that a fruit tree is planted it will raise the star quality of that tree
also: once a tree’s star raises, it will grow back faster when replanted

YES, and they grow in size

It’s silly how long fruit trees take to gain quality. Even if it were a month per quality increase they wouldn’t be good. I usually achieve perfection and am finished with a save file before a tree planted on day 1 year 1 would produce iridium. Not to mention the sapling price.

Wait – you can cut down and replant fruit trees?

Yes! And when you get the sapling back, it’ll be of the same star quality as the fruit. That affects the growth time. You can actually reach iridium quality over a full season sooner by chopping the tree down the first day it would produce silver quality fruit
– normal sapling: takes 28 days to grow, then advances one quality level every 4 seasons. Iridium quality fruit after 3 years
– silver sailing (2x): takes 14 days to grow, then advances one quality level after 2 seasons. Iridium quality fruit after a year and a half
– gold sapling (3x): takes ~10 days to grow, then advances quality every ~38 days. Iridium quality fruit after 1 year
– iridium sapling (5x): takes ~6 days to grow, them advances quality every ~23 days. Iridium quality after 2 and a half seasons (67 days)
So if you plant a sapling and just wait, you’ll get to iridium fruit after 13 seasons (including the initial growth time). However, if you chop it down the day it reaches silver quality (5 months in), you’ll get to iridium quality fruit after another year and a half + 2 weeks, for a total time of 11.5 months
For what it’s worth, I don’t have this memorized. This info is on the wiki!

It’s based on the tree age, you don’t have to let the fruit sit on the tree. Once your tree is a year older the quality will increase
