I am SO confused.

So, I was casually strolling through my town, right ? Next thing you know, i see my town tree, except it only has two clusters, however im able to sit on it.
My town isnt new, and it's atleast a few months old.
Does my hiatus have something to do with it ? I stopped playing the game for 3 months two times before, but i dont think that effects my town tree.

I found this. (Not sure how accurate it is though.)



Tree Stages

1) 1 day
2) 5 hours and 5 days
3) 20 hours and 20 days
4) 50 hours and 50 days
5) 100 hours and 100 days
6) 180 hours and 180 days
7) 300 hours and 300 days
8) 500 hours and 500 days

You have to load the game on that day, for that day to count though. (I think.) So if you skipped three months without loading your game, that may affect it.

In late fall/winter, your town tree starts losing its leaves. It worried me the first year that it happened to me, but it's completely normal. They will all come back in the spring.

It's kind of strange how our town tree goes bare for the winter but not the rest of the regular trees in town.

I guess it's all because of the mechanics, though. They don't want to take away the ability to shake trees and gather fruit in the winter.

LadyDestani is absolutely right, mine went from looking full and vibrant to only two branches with brown leaves overnight, it’s just the fall and it’ll come back right as rain.
