Is there a tree limit in New Leaf?

[Belle T]

Today on the "Weird Things That Probably Only Happen to Me" Show, I've been attempting to plant a forest of sorts for decorative purposes. But lately, every single tree I've planted has ended up dying, even when it's not adjacent to anything. I've tried planting one in a completely open field. Next day: dead. There are quite a few trees in my town already, so I've begun to wonder if there's a limit that I've not been privvy to until now.

What sort of tree are you trying to plant? I know the pine trees have a weird mechanic where they won’t grow in I think the south part of town? Anytime you try and plant them too far down they wilt.

They're just Cedar trees, so theoretically they should work.

Oh, sorry! I meant cedar trees, said pine by mistake The cedar trees are finicky, I’m not sure why but they wilt if you try to plant them too low in town.

Maybe that's it, then. I suppose I should try a different tree.

Hopefully it works! I have trees bordering my whole town, and some cedar trees sprinkled in the top area and haven’t run into a limit issue yet.

Yes, like -Lumi- said cedar trees can only be planted in the northern half of your town so that may be why they are wilting. So try planting a regular tree sapling there and see if it grows. If there is a limit to the number of trees, I haven't hit it yet.

Confirming that the problem was that it was a cedar tree. Well, that's not the aesthetic I wanted but I'll find something else.

Thank you both for your help. <3

You can go to islands and dig up cedar trees fully grown and transplant them anywhere on yr island.
