How To Grow Tree Essences In A Garden
To begin gardening, you’ll need to head to a garden in your town. These gardens are locatedsouth of your houseorin a smaller plot to the east of your workshop. Once there, you may start planting your essences. To do so,simply click the plant button,choose the essenceyou want to grow, andconfirm by clicking OK. This will plant your chosen essence in the garden.
There’s more to plant than just fruit and flowers. As you collect more essences, keep experimenting with new ones — you’ll be amazed at what you can grow.
Watering
Watering your newly planted essence is essential for speeding up its growth. Be sure towater it regularlyto help it grow faster. Once the essence tree is fully grown, you’ll be able to harvest the essences it produces.
Watering is also key to speeding up the growth process, so keep an eye on the trees and water them as needed.
Fertilizing
If you’re looking to gather a large number of essences quickly, you canfertilize your tree.Fertilizing willcause the tree to drop all of its essencesat once, making the harvest much quicker.
However, be cautious with fertilization as it will damage the tree. Over-fertilizing will eventually cause the tree to die, so use this option sparingly to avoid losing your tree entirely. That is, unless you need Dead Wood essence.
Chopping
In addition to harvesting essences, you canalso chop down treesfor their wood. This is a great way to gather materials, but note thatmetal trees drop Metalinstead of wood. You’ll find bothLight WoodandDark Wood among the treesin your garden. It’s also important to chop down treesif your garden becomes full, and you need space for new plants.
