When to Plant Saplings in Stardew Valley
So, you're looking to turn your farm into a lush forest or just make a quick buck with some fruit trees, huh? In Stardew Valley, timing is everything. Plant your saplings at the start of any season except winter! They take a whole season to mature, so if you want them to bear fruit at the start of the next season, timing is key. Remember, they won't grow if anything is right next to them, including weeds, so give 'em space to breathe!

Fun fact from my farm to yours: planted a sapling first day of Spring, and oh boy, was I pleased when it started bearing fruit in Summer. Best decision ever! It's like the game rewards you for thinking ahead and planning your farm layout. Plus, watching your farm go from a few trees to a full-blown orchard is just *chef's kiss*.
Hot take: Just plant them whenever you remember. Honestly, with everything else you gotta do in Stardew Valley, you'll be fine as long as it's not winter. Trees will grow when they're ready; it's not like the crops that wither when the season changes.
