In-Game Text "One that would have the fruit must climb the tree." - Thomas Fuller, 1608 - 1661 Trees. Apex of plantlife, lording over the world in a continuum of balance and growth. Learning Fruit Orchards readies the Pilgrim with the necessary patience and teachings to cultivate seasonal fruit trees, that they might enjoy the boughs' bounties! About Fruit Trees cycle through three distinct phases: A Dormant Stage, a Blossoming Stage, and a Ripe Stage. A Fruit Tree spends each Coldsnap and begins each Everbloom in the Dormant Stage. At a point determined by chance, during an Everbloom, a Fruit Tree will transition into the Blossoming stage, denoted by flowers blossoming on the tree. If a Fruit Tree is Pollinated during this stage it will switch to the Ripe Stage. This is the stage where Fruit can be picked.

While a Butterfly Conservatory has a longer pollination range, a Bee Skep can transfer Purity onto the Fruit Trees ultimately making a Bee Skep preferable. The Purity of pollinated Fruit Trees will slowly move towards the Purity of the Bee Skep. The Purity of a Bee Skep is equal to the Purity of the Hay used in it's construction. This Purity is then pass onto Fruit picked from the Fruit Tree. How to Plant in a Gardening Pot Select 1x Humus and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. If not, Select a Vessel with at least .20L of filled with Potable Water and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. A Gardening Pot can hold up to 1L of Potable Water. Each planting will reduce the filled amount by .20L. Select the Potable item you wish to plant and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. Planting in Gardening Pots lowers Insanity. Wait 3 days. Learning the Horticulture and Green Thumb Skills, as well as using the Store bought Gardener's Pot will reduce the time for plants to ripen. Once ripe, the plant's model will change. The Yield for non-bushes and Trees is two, unless you had the Store bought Garden Shovel equipped when planting in which case the default Yield is 3. When planting you will receive a bonus Yield which is determined by chance and your Herbs & Sprouts Proficiency. You will see your bonus Yield pop up in green as you add your Potable plant. At any point you may check the current Yield by right-clicking on your planted Gardening Pot. Ripe plants can now be picked by right-clicking the Gardening Pot and selecting "Pick". Bushes and Trees which have sprouted can be planted by Lifting the Gardening Pot and then right-clicking the ground and selecting "Plant". Gardening Purity Three factors influence Gardening Purity. The Purity of the Humus, the Purity of the Plant, and the Purity of the Gardening Pot. The Harvested Plant will be the average Purity of these three factors weighted towards the Humus. The formula is: Resulting Plant = ((Humus*2)+Pot+Initial Plant)/4. Any time the Resulting Plant's Purity is higher than the Gardening Pot's, the Gardening Pot's Purity will permanently increase by up to 2.56%. You may check your Gardening Pot's Purity by right-clicking it.
