Do we need all the fruits?

[Bluebellie]

Do the villagers ask for us to bring them different fruits? Like they did in past games?

Other than those diy that require the fruits, can I just have one single fruit type all around? Or will I have need of them for something else.

You dont NEED them but there is a nook mile achievement for planting one of each fruit tree. If you want completion you'll have to get them all.

Yeah I already have them all planted, but I don’t like all that color so I was thinking of removing and leaving one fruit only. However if the villagers will ask like in new leaf, maybe that’s a bad idea.

I've yet to see them ask ever for other fruit.

But if you'r worried I'd say plant a good 5 of each other tree you won't use, let them grow, chop 'em down and store the fruit, that way you have a surplus of 15ea which you can quickly replant if need be.

Some of the crafting recipes require some or all of the fruit.

Yeah she mentioned the DIYs and said if there was any need beyond that.

I haven't had them ask for fruit specifically but they do seem more enthusiastic about being gifted foreign fruit.
Aside from the miles achieve, I'm not sure if it factors into your perfect town score. I wouldn't think it would since I think the greenery tallied is just amount total of trees and flowers.

Villagers tend to like foreign fruit better. Also, they sell for 500 each (coconuts being an exception, as they sell for 250 a piece), so they can be a good source of Bells.

In my gameplay so far, I personally have never had a villager ask for fruit. I've had them ask for bugs numerous times, but never fruit!

If you're like me and don't want to ruin a villager's home with furniture gifts. They like foreign fruit just as much. You could have one foreign fruit orchard off into a corner of your island just for that purpose.
