Do you mix your cedars with regular trees?

[ashubii]

As in... Do you plant cedars amidst your regular trees and vice versa, or do you prefer to have separate areas for each type of tree?

I love how both trees look, and I've always had some cedars mixed in with my regular trees. I recently decided to make my town entirely forest-y, but I'm starting to think the cedars don't look as good mixed with the regular trees. It almost doesn't look natural to me, and I can't decide if I should leave it or replace my cedars with regular trees instead.

What do you guys think?

It's probably not even remotely as noticeable to most as it is to me, but I don't want it to look silly

Well if you want it to have the 'forest' feel then you are best off actually planting cedar trees instead of normal saplings. But be aware cedars don't grown in the southern end of the town. So maybe you are best going with having all normal trees so it doesn't look odd…

I learned about the cedars in the southern part the hard way u_u I want to keep the regulars because I love the cherry blossoms (I've been changing the date just to stay in it), and though the town is looking like a forest, it's kind of fairytale-esque. So all regulars might look best. I just wasn't sure if others thought it looked weird having them mixed or not ;; But thank you!

Yeah I definitely prefer normal trees just because they turn pink in cherry blossom season. n_n

I also think it will be great idea to plant normal saplings if you're going for a fairy tale theme!!

You could do a conifer/foresty area somewhere up north, maybe combine it with the campsite if that is possible or one of the other PWP - they do get christmas lights for a short time. I have conifers around my train station
And then change to the 'oak' trees as you move south - which is sort of a natural progression as you go south (albeit not squashed into a few acres).

I actually really like mixing my trees, but for the cute pink look I also have been holding off on the cedars in one of my towns, I am planting tons mixed in with the normals for my fall town, cause I want as many different colored trees as possible in my fall town, but for my cute town I have a lot of regulars mixed with pink and red fruit trees, that way there is still SOME green.

I actually only have around 10 trees in my town. Not a big fan of them, I prefer to have bushes instead of trees in my town. If there was a way to keep them pink all year (without TT), I would have more of them.

I don't seperate my trees. I only do that with my beaches, otherwise I usually just limit it to one color or something like that in an area (ex. mangoes and oranges go together because they're orange). I did use to mix them though, but I didn't like the look. I don't plant cedars, furthermore.

 

[ashubii]

Thank you all for your input! I am glad to know I wasn't just being weirdly picky about it. I think I'll forego Cedars in Everleaf for now

I don't really care where I put my cedars and regular trees, except in certain spots of my town.

I haven't really dug into landscaping just yet, but this has been on my mind as well. Whether I should use all cedars in the northern portion of my town, or mix trees. If they were mixed, I'd have normal and fruit-bearing trees in the southern half with cedars and fruit-bearing trees in the northern half. My thinking is that they'd look more cohesive with this way?

 

[Khaelis]

Yes, I do. Feels more natural to me.

 

[MasterM64]

I personally mix my trees in this game just because of how my town layout turned out, but I do have certain areas of my town that are also just cedar (particularly around my campsite). In past ACs though, I always kept the tree types very separate.

 

[Imbri]

For the most part, no, but near the center-line of Salem where cedars stop growing, I do plan to mix them so there isn't a hard line where one stops and the other starts. I don't really have to worry about that in Hollowyn, because the river makes a dividing line for me.

 

[Nimega]

No, I don't. I usually make paths with cedar trees along them and other paths with regular/fruit trees along them, but I don't mix. I like even-looking things

 

[Aeristria]

I don't like Cedars much, but I have a row of them evenly spaced against the fence-line for the train tracks and I plan to plant one near all of the northern buildings just because when Christmas rolls around, it's a very festive entrance way for anyone who visits me/I think it'd be nice for some of my village to have personal Christmas Trees. :3 Though 2/3rds of my villagers live in the south...

 

[Kirindrake]

I don't care so much about organization in regards to something like this; I just plant the saplings wherever they'll work, I don't have them separated. I do have an orchard of sorts with trees, but it's not really divided; I just planted whatever sapling I had ready in the next place to plant one.

 

[TheGreatBrain]

I like to have my trees in their own little area. My towns are a bit too organized. All the trees are perfectly placed.

I love organized towns, honestly! I really wanted mine to look like a natural forest, though, so I just planted a few bamboo shoots and let a bunch of random bamboo grow, cut them all down, and replaced them with trees xD

The lighted trees really are super pretty! ;n;
I might add some Cedars around wintertime just for that, but I'm hoping to have my dream address ready for spring/summer well before then

I've decided to just go all regular saplings/fruit trees, mostly because I want my DA to feature the cherryblossoms. I don't have a lot of fruit trees, because I don't think they really fit my theme, but I'm thinking of adding a small fruit orchard by my Tavern house. I think that might look cute. The contrast with the bright cherryblossom pink bothers me a little, though x_x

Yes I mix cedars and regular trees in my town, I do like how it looks so much more natural. The northern half of my town is all mixed and doesn?t look very organized, a natural forest.
