[keyword] [keyword]

Growing fruits from seeds in Rune Factory 5 is straightforward. Begin by planting the seeds, ensuring you water them every day, and ultimately gather your fruits. Keep in mind that if you decide to cultivate your own fruits, weather conditions will play a crucial role in your success.

Additionally, each type of fruit offers specific buffs, so being aware of these benefits is essential in Rune Factory 5.

How to Grow Fruits?

To cultivate fruits, you will need to buy seeds from the Flowerstruck shop or Serendipity General Store. Initially, these shops will have a limited selection of seeds, but you can unlock more types by completing various requests for them.

Once you have your seeds, use a hoe to prepare a 2×2 plot. Plant your seeds there and nurture them. Ideally, the best spots for planting are behind the Rigbarth Outpost or any Farm Dragon field.

It’s vital to water your planted seeds on a daily basis to ensure they flourish. Once a fruit tree matures, it will produce fruit daily; however, if you cut down the tree post-maturation, it won’t re-grow.

Some seeds can also be acquired as rewards.

How to Obtain Fruit Tree Seeds?

In Rune Factory 5, you can find apple, orange, grape, and twinkle seeds in two main locations. Equip the Foresight Crest to uncover hidden items, including these seeds, but first, you’ll need to finish a series of bounties to unlock it. Once that’s done, head to Atohl’s End Entrance. Look for the first seed near a tree stump by the portal close to a small pond. This seed is randomly generated, so you’ll need to return to the area after an in-game 24-hour period for another chance to find a seed.

The second spot is the Phoros Woodlands Entrance. Exit the town gates and head toward the woods. When you approach the gate, turn right to find a chopped tree. The seeds can be found nestled at the roots of this tree.

How to Acquire Apples?

Apples can be found in various locations within the Pharos Woodlands. One specific area is near the BuffaMoos site. Travel east until you reach a prominent rock formation, then use your spell to bring them down. The Blue Moon site in Rigbarth is another place where you can occasionally find apple drops. Spring and autumn are the prime seasons for locating apples, while winter presents the least favorable conditions.

To turn your apples into juice, simply interact with the fruit and choose the juice-making option.

To obtain the oranges, cast your spells to bring them down from the trees. Once collected, you can interact with one to create orange juice.

How to Acquire Grapes?

For grapes, venture deeper into Buffamoose towards the dungeon previously used by Bennet King; the monsters here will be tougher, indicating the right path. Another recommended spot for grape hunting is the Blue Moon in Rigbarth.

Keep in mind, you won’t find grapes while gathering apples or oranges as your level might not be sufficient at that point.

The most favorable seasons for grapes are spring and autumn, while winter is the least optimal.

Grapes are also useful for crafting purposes.

Why Won’t My Rune Factory 5 Trees Bear Fruit?

Sometimes, it may seem like your tree isn’t producing fruit, even if you are watering it. To check for fruit, hold down the A button, which can reveal any hidden fruit. If there’s nothing visible, rather than repeatedly cutting and regrowing trees, try using the giantizer tool to encourage fruit production.

Remember, trees in Rune Factory 5 can produce fruit all year, so if you don’t see expected results, consider applying the aforementioned solution!
