The procedure of growing fruits from seed is simple in Rune Factory 5. Start by planting the seeds, watering the land daily, and then harvesting the fruits. If you choose to farm your own fruits, you must consider the weather as an important factor.
There are also buffs that each fruit provides so it’s important to know those too in Rune Factory 5.
How to Grow Fruits?
You must purchase seeds from Flowerstruck shop or Serendipity General Store to grow fruits. The number of seeds available at these stores will be minimal at the start of the game, but as you complete different requests for the shops, they will increase their types.
Once you get seeds, you must hoe down an area 2×2. Then, you must plant these seeds inside this place and grow them. One of the best places to plant them is behind Rigbarth Outpost or any Farm Dragon field.
You will need to water the seeds you plant daily to grow successfully. Once a fruit tree is grown completely, it will yield fruit for you daily. However, if you chop down a fruit tree after its growth, it will never regrow.
How to get fruit tree seeds?
There are two possible locations in Rune Factory 5 where apples, oranges, grapes, and twinkle seeds spawn randomly. Equip the Foresight Crest to reveal hidden items, which include these seeds. You first need to complete a bunch of bounties until you unlock it. After this, you need to head to Atohl’s End Entrance. You will find the first seed by the tree stump near the portal next to the little pond. This will be a random seed, so you must visit the area after the in-game 24 hours to get a new seed.
The next place is Phoros Woodlands Entrance. Head outside the gates of the town near the woods. When you get close to the gate, turn to the right, and you will see a chopped-up tree. You will find the seeds at the roots of this tree.
How to Get Apple?
You will find apples in different spots in Pharos Woodlands. One such marked location is the BuffaMoos. Head east of the area until you get to a large rock backdrop, and use the spell to draw them down. The Blue Moon in Rigbarth is another location that has random apple drops. The best seasons for apples are spring and autumn, whereas winter is the worst season for apples.
To make the apple juice, interact with your apple, which will give you an option to make some juice.

Rune Factory 5 Trees Won’t Grow Fruits
Sometimes, you can’t notice the fruits on a tree despite watering it; the best thing is to hold the A button, and you will see the fruit. But if you still don’t find anything on your tree, then instead of scything and regrowing trees, the best way to make your trees bear fruit is by using giantizer.
It is important to understand that the trees in Rune Factory 5 produce fruits in all seasons, so if you’re getting the right results, you must need to work on the above fix!
