Warmer weather has arrived in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and springtime events are just around the corner. Animal Crossing will also be hitting its 1st anniversary on March 20th, marking a year of island exploration, designs, and town expansions. By now, many fans have built up shops like Nook's Cranny, Able Sisters and potentially completed the collections inside the Museum. It is also likely players have found and planted one of each fruit tree that was part of the initial launch for the game. To improve the variety of fruit trees, releasing new types could be a great way to celebrate this Animal Crossing: New Horizons milestone.

Currently, there are six different types of trees growing on Animal Crossing islands. Apples, pears, peaches, oranges, cherries, and coconuts are used as decorations along paved roads or make up thick orchards around villager houses. Each Animal Crossing island begins with one fruit type, and others are acquired by traveling to Mystery Islands on the Dodo Airlines or by visiting the islands of friends to pick their fruit trees. The fruit can then be brought home, planted, and grown until all the available fruit types are accounted for.

There are plenty of fruit trees that could be introduced through a spring update for 2021. Past Animal Crossing games have included varieties such as grapes, lychee, bananas, durian, and even lemons. Adding any of these varieties could create new fruit-based DIY recipes, and new fruit types to trade among friends. One variety could spawn randomly for each island based on the original native fruit type or could be purchased from the Nook Stop or Shopping App. With only one new type for each player, fans will again have to travel far and wide to collect the new round of different trees.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Could Add Fruits From Past Games

In past Animal Crossing games like New Leaf, players were also able to grow "Perfect Fruit." These fruits were glossy in appearance and sold for a higher number of Bells than regular fruit, especially if they weren't a native variety. Currently, there isn't a mechanic for Perfect Fruit in New Horizons, and bringing it back would put more weight on growing and nurturing the fruit trees around each island. It would also make the addition of more Animal Crossing fruit a financially lucrative investment to help pay off those steep debts to Tom Nook.

March is already looking busy for Animal Crossing fans, with Shamrock Day and the Super Mario crossover events just around the corner, so it might be a bit before the news is released about 1st-anniversary celebrations, if there will be any, for Animal Crossing fans to participate in. Hopefully, upcoming updates give more information as spring rolls into summer in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
