In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, money grows on trees – if you know how to plant a money tree! Here you will find everything to easily harvest your sternis.

You pick apples and cherries in "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" for the Nintendo Switch right at the beginning of the game. You can also get money bags from the green crown of a money tree – you may have seen such a plant on a friend's island.

Step by step to your own money tree

How to plant a money tree:

• Look for a flashing spot on the bottom of your island. There is one of these spots on your island every day.
• Equip the shovel and dig a hole on the stain. You will find a sack with 1,000 stars. Nice, but not the most important thing about this campaign – it is more important that the hole shines and a money tree can grow in it.
• To do this, create a Sterni money bag in your inventory. Select your Sterni fortune and determine what amount you want to convert into a money bag.
• Then select the money bag and tap "Burying". You are now burying the sack in the glowing hole in the earth. Important: The amount of sternis that you put in the money bag also determines the content of the money bags that you can harvest. More on this in the next section.
• Wait a few days for the tree to grow and bear "fruit". Then you can harvest the money bags. A money tree always carries three sacks.

Probabilities in money trees

The money trees in "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" sprout different amounts of sternis – depending on how much wealth you are burying in the glowing hole. According to "Animal Crossing" -Fanwiki , the system works as follows:

• If you bury a money sack with 100 to 1,000 stars, three sacks will grow on the money tree with the same amount that you have buried – so you triple the amount.
• If you bury a money bag with 2,000 to 9,000 stars, there is a 70 percent chance that you will harvest three bags with only 1,000 stars each. The bags contain a 30 percent probability of the amount buried.
• If you dig 1,000 to 99,000 sternis (the maximum), there is a 70 percent chance that you will get three sacks with only 10,000 sternis each. With a probability of 30 percent, the bags each contain the amount buried.

With higher buried amounts there is always a certain risk of not getting everything back.

Planting a money tree: what is the ideal amount?

You can make the most profit if you always bury bags with 10,000 sternis: this way you will definitely get 20,000 additional sternis. If you bury 30,000 Sternis, you have a chance to triple, but you can also land with zero profit. If you bury more than 30,000 Sternis, you risk losses.

Summary

• Money trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons carry Sterni sacks that you can harvest.
• To plant a money tree, bury a Sterni sack in a glowing spot in the ground and wait a few days.
• The more sternis you bury, the higher the possible yield. However, the risk of harvesting less than you have sown also increases.
