Trees

Trees are an important feature of a Landleven farm.

Your first tree
Right at the start you have an Apple Tree, which will produce fruit in 8 hours. After the growth period, as soon as you click - or a neighbor clicks - "Harvest", which is usually shown by a basket icon, the apple is sent to your barn and a new one starts its 8-hour cycle. You can speed it up using a Watering Can.

Harvesting
Until August 2014, the "ready to harvest" icon was a plain basket; it then changed to a yellow inverted water drop, which changed to a basket with an arrow when your pointer hovered over it; a few days later, the color changed to orange. By August 10, the drops were replaced by a basket with an arrow pointing into it (which was what you saw a few days earlier only when hovering).

Planting more trees
At Level 4 you can start planting more apple trees.

Other trees become available at higher levels. They follow the same sort of pattern, with individual growth times. At any level, you may receive from a neighbor a gift of a tree, which you can plant immediately. Find it in your Gift Box.

Eventually you can collect trees in a Grove, which crowds them together and speeds up growth.
