Grow a Garden Koala

Koala is the rare that makes tree-category tiles feel worth the long timer — Eucalyptus is written as bonus growth on that crop family, not as a bamboo or vegetable generalist.

Quick stats

Koala weight progression

Koala hatches at 2.2 kg and grows with the formula W = (hatch ÷ 11) × (age + 10). The table below projects its weight at each age milestone so you can plan trade timing and weight targets.

Playstyle

Cluster tree-tagged crops and keep Koala centered on that grove. Editorial tier B rare fits a strong niche with a clear category lock: empty the slot if your garden is mostly flowers or water. Red Panda Climb helps elevated harvest speed on a different axis; Panda Bamboo Boost owns bamboo value and does not share Eucalyptus’s tree wording. Worm Aerate nudges soil quality globally and can sit beside Koala without claiming the same bonus.

Weight & trading

Hatch 2.2 kg produces unusually clean checkpoints: age 25 is exactly 7 kg, age 40 is 10 kg, age 50 is 12 kg, and age 100 is 22 kg under (2.2 / 11) × (age + 10). Those round numbers make Koala easy to sanity-check against the weight calculator when verifying a listing.

Eucalyptus: bonus growth on tree-category crops. The roster does not publish a percent, aura radius, or sell-value rider beyond growth bonus. Category membership follows each crop’s tags — if a bush is not tree-category in the crop database, do not assume Eucalyptus applies. Bamboo remains Panda’s lane per that species’ ability text.

Koala in Grow a Garden

Grove layout beats scattered trees

One Koala covering a tight tree block usually outperforms the same pet watching three lonely oaks on opposite corners. Rebuild the grove if tree tiles were planted as decoration rather than as a production wing.

Sloth Slow Growth stretches timers for bigger yields on many crops; Eucalyptus speeds tree-category growth specifically. They can coexist on different plots, but stacking both on one tile type needs a clear goal — speed versus extended yield — rather than automatic double-slotting.

Reading tier B as niche strength

Editorial tier B does not mean Koala is weaker than every tier A rare; it means the ability is category-gated. On a tree monoculture, Eucalyptus can matter more than a higher-tier pet that never touches trees.

Trade conversations should separate rare rarity, tier B ranking, and whatever ask the buyer can afford. Heavy age on a 2.2 kg hatch is attractive for weight screenshots, but buyers without tree plots will pass regardless of kilograms.

Common questions

Will Eucalyptus speed bamboo the way Panda does?
No. Panda’s Bamboo Boost targets bamboo crop value. Koala’s Eucalyptus is limited to tree-category growth in the roster text.
Why does age 25 weigh exactly 7 kg on a default Koala?
Because (2.2 ÷ 11) × (25 + 10) = 0.2 × 35 = 7. Same hatch at age 50 is 12 kg. Use those checkpoints when a listing’s weight looks off for the stated age.
