Did you guys know this...?

[Sawyer2030]

Did you guys know that cedar saplings only grow on the northern side of your town? I've wasted like 10 saplings because I didn't know this

 

[MadisonCrossing]

I didn't know it for a long time, but I started to figure it after none of my cedar saplings grew on the southern side and that the north part of all my towns were getting crowded with them. :c

 

[Kirindrake]

Oh wowwww, I actually did not! =O No WONDER those cedars I would plant on the south parts would wilt! That makes a lot of sense now. Thank you for noting this and posting, I probably would never have caught on if you hadn't. XD Sorry about the saplings, though. That sucks.

THANKS OBAMA

 

[Ettienne]

I knew, but I'm not exactly sure where that line is. Assume it's on the acre system some place.

THANKS OBAMA

You need to thank Miyamoto. Not Obama .

But yes, I actually did know about this. Good thing I just steer clear of cedars entirely since I think they look boring .

 

[Karminny]

I learned that in WW
I barely plant any now due to the places I want them to be
are in the southern parts of town :/

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

Yes, I knew this.

 

[MBaku]

I just learned this recently! I don't really plant saplings often, so it never really applied to me.

 

[JeffreyAC]

Does any one know why? Do they only grow in the northern parts of the real world or something like that?

 

[AkaneDeath]

Huh. You learn something new everyday. ^^
I only really like them around Christmas time, though so it's okay.

Cedar trees grow everywhere, but I think the game developers were trying to go for trees similar to Christmas trees, which can be other trees besides cedar, like spruce or pine. In general you're more likely to find conifers (like the cedar trees) in colder climates than other types of trees.

 

[AllisonCypress]

Yes, actually! A heard the news spreading around the Forums and such, and I was pretty bummed out because I had already started landscaping for the southern side of town. Now I always have to be careful when I'm planting my cedar trees...

 

[doggaroo]

Yes I found it out by planting a zillion cedar saplings in my campsite and watching them all die So sad...

 

[00ToxicLove00]

Wow I never knew this probably because I hardly plant cedar saplings.

 

[noctos]

Good to know for when I start landscaping. It does make sense, but it's a little sad if you want to plant cedar saplings all over town...

 

[TortimerCrossing]

I had no idea... that kind of depresses me because i planned on building a forest down there. sigh.

 

[mayorofparadise]

Yes and personally think its stupid, you should be able to plant them anywhere!

 

[Imbri]

I did know this, because it's been true since ACGC. I try to use the river as a general guide and keep an eye on my little icon moving on the map to make sure I don't go below the top half of the map.

Sadly, I found this out last year, with my old town. Since I love nature and hiking, I wanted a Yosemite-like area around my campsite and thought the cedar trees would look beautiful there. Well, in my old town, I had placed the campsite on the bottom half of the map.

Upset that any cedar tree I tried to grow there ended up wilting, I finally researched the issue and found out about how they could be grown in the northern area. :c Initially, I did not want my campsite there, because I thought it would be more suited away from the train station. But this, along with other various issues, inspired me to recreate my town, so I could grow it into the vision I had in my head. <3

My campsite is now in the northern area, all alone. The train station doesn't bother me as much as I thought, since I blocked it with perfect apple trees. ^-^ It will take a while to gather all of the cedar trees for that area, but that is part of the fun!
