This article is about the seed that grows Trees. For the painting, see Paintings § From Traveling Merchant.
Saplings

All saplings variations from placing Acorns.

Acorns are a type of Seed used to plant Trees. Acorns can be planted on regular green grass, Hallow grass, Corrupted grass, Crimson grass, Jungle grass, Sand or Snow, where they will create saplings that will grow into Trees, under the right conditions. Acorns are randomly dropped when cutting down or shaking trees, and can also be purchased from the Dryad for 10. Jungle Trees do not normally drop Acorns, however if a branch is hanging over a regular Grass tile, the branch can very rarely drop an Acorn.

Notes[]

  • Planting an Acorn will grow the matching tree for whatever Biome it is in.
  • When planted in the desert, acorns grow Palm Trees, not Cactus.
  • Acorns will not be retrieved back when breaking the saplings that were already planted.
  • Acorns need 21 height for the smart cursor planting to work, if there's any kind of "roof" below this height, the smart planting won't be available (though you can still plant acorns manually)
