How to get it

  • Use the stock tracker to time your purchase. Apple competes with Rare-tier seeds in the same rotation, so compare carefully.

Best strategy

  • Apple is the Uncommon ceiling — run it as your main crop until Rare seeds become affordable. The 208 base value with repeat harvests is hard to beat at this tier.
  • Stack Apple harvests with Rain or Snow weather events. Repeat-harvest crops benefit from multiple mutation chances per weather window.

FAQs

Plant detail follow-up questions

Use the FAQ area for interpretation questions, not for repeating the stat block.

Is Apple the best Uncommon crop?

For repeat-harvest income, yes. Apple has the highest base value (208) of any Uncommon crop and its repeat-harvest nature means it compounds over time. It is the natural last step before jumping to Rare seeds.

When should I upgrade from Apple to Rare crops?

Once your Apple income lets you buy Rare seeds like Pumpkin (220 Shillings) or Plum (280 Shillings) without stalling your reinvestment loop. Apple's 208 base value is strong, but Pumpkin at 340 base represents a 63% jump.

How long does Apple take to grow and what is it worth?

Apple grows in 2.1 minutes and sells for 208 Shillings per repeat harvest. The seed costs 135 Shillings, so you profit 73 Shillings on the first harvest and earn 208 Shillings on every cycle after. That is roughly 99 Shillings per minute on sustained repeats.
