Tree

Trees make coins in FarmVille. A crop plot will hold 16 trees. Trees do not wither, and will mature in various lengths of times yielding different amounts of coins depending on the type of tree. Some trees when combined into a plot of 16 can earn more per plot than the best normal crops. They can harvest up to 5 days.

Some trees are available in the Market and some can only be gifted to you by your neighbors while others are in mystery gifts. Some decorations, like the Evergreen Tree, Dogwood Tree, or Magnolia Tree, are labeled as such but cannot be harvested. The trees that can be harvested (aside from the two Ornament Trees) have an image of the fruit that can be harvested next to the tree in the thumbnail image.

With the help of Arborists, all of the ready trees on a farm can be harvested at one time.

Some think there is a down side to forestry: First, experience points are given one time for purchased trees only. Second, if you purchased the tree, it may take between 10 and 15 weeks to recover the purchase price and earn a profit. Of course, gifted trees are profitable immediately. Finally, and this could be a good thing or bad depending on what you are doing, but trees may block your view of what is behind, possibly preventing entire plots from being worked. The flip side is that they can be handy for hiding stuff.

As of November 12, 2010, Farmers can use the Biplane to instantly grow their trees.

Orchards
Also see main article Orchard.

Up to 20 trees can be stored in an Orchard, allowing you to harvest all the trees at once. Note that while these trees can be grown by using the Biplane, the Arborists are unable to harvest trees that are in an Orchard.

Orchards allow all trees to be harvested in two days. The table below, with tree harvest information, does not include the harvest value for trees stored in an orchard. To determine this value, multiply the "Harvest Value Per Day" times "Days Between Harvests" divided by two (e.g. Apricot: 14 * 4/2 = 28).

Ribbons
Ribbons associated with trees include:
 * Knock on Wood
 * Tree Hugger

Mastery
Harvesting a tree will earn one Mastery for that tree type with some exceptions. Currently the only harvestable trees that do not have mastery are the Persimmon Tree and Carnival Tree. Tree Mastery is used in conjunction with Orchards and obtaining Mystery Seedlings; however trees do not need to be placed into an Orchard to gain mastery. Mastering trees is like mastering crops and earns you: XP, coin bonuses, and mastery signs.

Holiday Tree
The Holiday Tree was featured in the Market on the Tree page. So far it is the only non-harvestable tree to have been featured in it.

Winter Decorations
The Lights Decorator automatically themes any building it is used on.
