Its best to plant trees away from other trees, cliffs, and houses (this also applies to places where a house COULD be, like the signs and dirt spaces where there are no cliffs). The best way to get a tree to grow is to cut down a full grown tree, dig out the stump, and plant your foreign fruit there. I’ve got all the fruit in town you could name (can’t get coconut trees to grow here though). This is easy, but just wait til you have to keep the town perfect for two whole weeks…

Thanks for the tips. I think coconut trees only will grow in one square in town…somewhere in the south.

I’ve never gotten the hang of growing coconut trees in town…but then again I haven’t tried for a while. After the first few tries, I gave up. Maybe down by the dock…

Coconut trees will only grow in beach acres. They might or might not be harder to grow than the other types of fruit trees (I dunno; I never did experiment with it), but they’ll grow.

> No I’m not addicted. How can I be, when I have to play Metroid Prime as well?! Save the universe and get a sweet furniture series! (hm, metroid furniture? Time to go to bed…) What furniture series are you collecting?

Oooh, I gotta agree there. Metroid Prime is a great game. Between that and Super Mario Sunshine (a disappointing game all told, but I’ll still finish it eventually), I’ve been happily killing time on the most beloved 'Cube.

As to the furniture question, I wasn’t really collecting any one set before I drifted away from Mysidia (my town). I had just finished my Exotic set, but was quite happy with my Spooky set gracing my first floor.
