Koala
Tree-category crops grow slowly but sell big — Koala Eucalyptus shaves that timeline while boosting harvest value on oaks, maples, and fruit trees.
Quick stats
- Hatch weight: 2.2 kg
- Weight at age 50: 12.00 kg
- Weight at age 100: 22.00 kg
Playstyle
Koala belongs on tree-heavy plots. Eucalyptus applies bonus growth to tree-category crops — separate from Worm Aerate soil mechanics. Place Koala centrally among tree clusters. Pair with Red Panda Climb on elevated tree plots for harvest speed plus growth combo.
Weight & trading
2.2 kg rare hatch weight gives Koala medium classification trajectory. Eucalyptus scaling improves noticeably at age 45+. Koala competes with Sloth Slow Growth on slow crops but Eucalyptus adds category-specific multiplier Sloth lacks.
Eucalyptus grants bonus growth speed and modest value boost on tree-category crops. Passive always-on for tagged tiles. Does not affect bamboo — Panda owns that category. Fruit trees, oaks, and decorative trees all qualify.
Koala in Grow a Garden
Tree grove layout
Cluster tree tiles in 3x3 or larger blocks so Koala aura covers maximum tagged crops. Scattered single trees waste Eucalyptus coverage efficiency.
Tree crops overlap with forest weather bonuses — Koala plus Squirrel Stash acorn spawns during forest overcast creates self-sustaining tree economy.
Koala vs Sloth on slow crops
Sloth Slow Growth extends timers for bigger yields on any crop type. Koala Eucalyptus speeds tree-category specifically. Run Sloth on vegetable slow-yield alt plot, Koala on main tree grove.
Koala tier B rare reflects strong niche but narrow category lock — generalists may prefer Otter or Newt.
Common questions
- Do bushes count as tree-category for Eucalyptus?
- Category tags follow in-game crop database — fruit bushes tagged tree-category qualify; low shrubs tagged vegetable do not. Check crop detail pages.
- Does Koala help Worm Aerate soil builds?
- Different systems — Worm affects soil stat globally; Koala affects tree-category growth directly. Complementary on tree plots, not redundant.
