I hear a number of you fine folks are findin' your Orchards burstin at the seams these days. Well, all you need is a little bit of maths (I had to get Fanny to do that for me) and you soon realise it aint all that important to have so many trees!So, I's gonna write up this little guide and a few tips.
Tip 1: The shorter the grow, the less that can show.
I know how you're thinkin'. Those fast growin' trees ain't no hassle so we'll have lots! But here's the rub, because they're so darn fast to sprout y'all don't need that many, especially next to the longer trees.
Think about it like this young'un. A cherry tree takes 8 minutes, a pear tree takes near as dammit 11 times longer.
So for every time you can harvest a pear tree, you can harvest a cherry tree ELEVEN times! Your fancy young mind will have clicked now that we can have a lot fewer cherry trees to get the same end product! So don't go worrying too much about the quick trees, tis the slow ones you've gotta be stockin' up on!
But how many I hear you cry... Well, that's where we get all I've gots my brain workin... OK, I've got FANNY'S brain workin' and she's come up with this. This table shows how many trees you need in your orchard to harvest ONE HUNDRED of every single type in the space of a day.
That means if you had the trees in our table below (and 2'200 energy points) you could harvest yourselves one hundred of each of the blighters in just a day.

It aint perfect but it gives you an idea...
Tree | Growth Time | Amount Needed For 100 Per Day | Tree | Growth Time | Amount Needed For 100 Per Day |
Cherry | 8 mins | 1 | Sour Cherry | 8 mins | 1 |
Apple | 30 mins | 3 | Green Apple | 30 mins | 3 |
Pear | 1.5 hrs | 7 | Raspberry | 2 hrs | 9 |
Spice Bush | 2 hrs | 9 | Lemon | 3 hrs | 13 |
Peach | 3 hrs | 13 | White Peach | 3 hrs | 13 |
Pomegranate | 4 hrs | 17 | Cocoa | 4 hrs | 17 |
Peppermint | 4 hrs | 17 | Plum | 5 hrs | 25 |
Persimmon | 7 hrs | 34 | Pecan | 8 hrs | 34 |
Avocado | 8hrs | 34 | Apricot | 8 hrs | 34 |
Orange | 8 hrs | 34 | Frozen Orange | 9 hrs | 50 |
Almond | 10 hrs | 50 | Coffee | 10 hrs | 50 |
So, all in all that adds up to 468 trees, giving you another 532 spare spaces in a fully upgraded orchard!
Now obviously that aint all gonna work in reality. Yer gonna want more than 1 cherry tree or three apple trees. But it does go to show if you look at how often you can tend your trees and the general mission bits n bobs (aint likely to have many 100 tree missions) then ya might have a few more trees than you logically need.Tip 2: Be like the tree.
A tree don't rush, when planning your orchard contents don't think "I gotta finish me that mission NOW!"
Take a lil moment to mosey up to the mission and get a good look at it's particulars. If'n another requirement will take a few days, there aint no point rushin' through those trees for the sakes of rushin'.
Be a little logical and have a little maths and that 1'000 plot orchard seems spacier than a fenceless field!
