The first step to tree transplanting in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to obtain consumable items like fruits, turnips, or bamboo shoots. These items come from various sources, including flowering trees and even Nook’s Cranny, and when ingested they grant players with super strength. To consume one, fans must simply select the item from within their pockets and then choose “Eat 1.”

When this is done, players will see a new numerical indicator at the top-left corner of their screens, and this means that they are ready to tackle Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Tree Transplantation activity. Specifically, the fan should find a full-grown tree in ACNH that they would like to move, equip their shovel, and then press A to use the tool when facing the tree. This will cause the villager to extract the entire tree from the ground, and it will now be located in the player’s pockets.
At this point, fans that are working on tree transplanting in ACNH should find a new spot for the uprooted plant. They should then select the tree from within their pockets and choose “Plant” to put it back into the ground. Indeed, this is all that must be done to progress Tree Transplantation in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but players should keep in mind that they must have their shovels equipped when they attempt to replant their trees.
Of course, completion of the special Nature Day Nook Miles+ activity is not the only reason that a fan may be interested in learning about tree transplanting in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as the ability to move trees plays a big part in landscaping an island. That said, it is important to emphasize that players will need to use one consumable item every time they want to transplant a tree, and it is thus advisable to keep a stack or two of fruit on hand.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
