Apple
Apple anchors the orchard uncommon tier — 52 Sheckles base on tree fruit makes Moonlit and autumn weather tags feel like scheduled orchard paydays.
Base value
Apple base value is 52 Sheckles. A 5 kg fruit sells for 52 × 25 = 1,300 Sheckles raw. At 12 kg you reach 52 × 144 = 7,488 Sheckles before mutations — where Moonlit (×8) during harvest moons and Golden (×20) justify dedicated tree plots.
Mutations & weather
Tree fruit loves Moonlit (×8) and Tranquil (×15) during calm orchard nights and days. Chilled (×4) during autumn mornings stacks cheaply before fall-event autumn-apple upgrades.
Farming loop
Plant apple for autumn and full-moon windows when Moonlit procs align with tree maturity. Clear Skies Tranquil brackets work for pure weight pushes.
Apple strategy
Orchard Row Fundamentals
Apple introduces tree-fruit pacing: visible hanging fruit, moderate maturity, strong trade recognition. Compare with orange and cherry in the crop value calculator when splitting orchard tiles.
Set minimum sell weight before orchard expansion — buyers know apple category math and ignore undersized fruit.
Fall Event Upgrade Path
Apple connects to autumn-apple and poison-apple lines. Master common apple kg before event seeds — orchard fertilizer setups transfer directly.
