hi! i'm building a wishing area in my town right now, and yesterday i planted some blue hydrangeas between trees to section off the area. all of the bush starts grew this morning besides one:

these starts grew beautifully...


dead start.jpg
but this one died?

i don't think i did anything wrong when i planted it (because starts can grow next to trees?), but i'm not sure why it's dead... am i missing something?


thank you for your help!!! :blush:
 
it looks like that is a ''dead spot''
it's a tile in your town where no tree or shrubs can grow.
how ever it is possible for weeds and flowers to grow there.

hope this helps :)

thank you! :blush: i figured it was a dead spot but i was in denial.....

guess i'll just stare at this dead shrub for a little while and then move on :')
 
do you need any help with gardening in your town ?
 
I have never heard of a "dead spot" no clue that even existed lol. But it could also be that your landscaping connected 12 plants (trees and bushes) which is the maximum amount the game allows. Therefore if planting this bush would have caused there to be more than 12 things all touching, it would die.

Hope you figure out the issue! Your wishing well area looks lovely btw...

awww thank you! and actually, that might be it! i knew about the chain restriction, but i thought it was just for chains of bushes, not bushes AND trees... i'm going to go count how many trees and bushes i had in a row, because honestly i think you're right about that being the reason...
thanks!!!
