Can fruit trees and bell made saplings generate rare stumps designs?

[Titi]

I've been trying to get rare tree stumps designs to make seats around a pond in my town,
but I have had no luck so far, and I've been trying for a while.
I just thought: I've only been burrying fruit or bells to get the saplings, is that maybe why?
Does it only happen with trees grown from actual store bought saplings?
Or am I just unlucky...

They can happen with any tree! A regular axe has a small chance of producing a rare stump, gold has a slight increase & silver axes always produce them!

Even with a gold axe it can still take a couple of trees to produce them!

Get a silver axe

Oooooh thanks so much guys, I didn't know about the axe, I've been using my gold one!
I'll use my silver one.

To conserve the silver axe, you can chop the tree trunk twice with the golden axe, and then finish it off with the silver axe.
