How to get it
- • Available in shop rotations at 280 Shillings per seed — the most expensive early Rare option. Ensure your income stream can absorb the cost without stalling your next purchase cycle.
- • Compare against Grape (170 Shillings, Uncommon repeat) and Pumpkin (220 Shillings, Rare single) before buying. The 280-Shilling price tag demands a healthy bankroll to justify the jump.
Best strategy
- • Plum is the direct repeat-harvest upgrade from Grape (260 base, 170 seed). The 188-Shilling value jump costs 110 more per seed, but repeat compounding means Plum pulls ahead within two harvest cycles.
- • Stack Plum harvests with weather events for maximum compounding. Multiple 448-Shilling repeat payouts during Rain or Snow outperform Pumpkin's single-harvest burst over any window longer than one cycle.

What is Plum worth per harvest?
Plum sells for 448 Shillings per repeat harvest with a 4.1-minute growth cycle. The seed costs 280 Shillings, so you profit 168 Shillings on the first harvest and earn 448 Shillings on every cycle after. That is roughly 109 Shillings per minute on sustained repeats.
Is Plum better than Pumpkin?
For sustained income, yes. Plum at 448 base with repeat harvests outearns Pumpkin (340, single) over any session longer than two cycles. Pumpkin is cheaper at 220 seed versus 280 and better for quick burst plays, but Plum compounds harder during weather windows.
When should I upgrade from Plum?
Plum stays competitive until you can afford Mango (500 base, Rare repeat). Mango costs more per seed but the 52-Shilling value jump per harvest compounds across every repeat cycle. Transition when your bankroll can handle Mango seeds without disrupting your planting loop.
