🍎 Apple Sapling

The Apple Sapling is a Fruit Tree Sapling in Stardew Valley. It takes 28 days to grow into a mature Apple Tree, which produces one Apple per day during the Fall season. Like all fruit trees, it will also produce fruit year-round if planted in the Greenhouse.

💡 Tips & Strategies

Pro Tip: Plant Apple Saplings early in Spring or Summer so the tree matures in time for Fall harvests.

Plant inside the Greenhouse for year-round apple production.
Apples are required for multiple Community Center bundles.
Consider spacing saplings properly — trees won’t grow if there are obstructions around them.
