So, I got the game on new years eve and have been playing pretty consistently ever since. I have T.I.Y and such, so I have certainly played the game for a number of days. Yet, my town tree still only has two clusters but is able to show the credits. Any help with this? Thanks
 
I heard that Time Travel has something to do with it, have you done so?

Otherwise, it takes a while for the tree to grow; just be patient and you'll get there :)
 
Nope, not at all. But from what I understand, I should at the very least have three clusters? That happens at 20 hours and 20 days right?
 
It's just to beginning to grow back! Everyone's tree is like that I'm pretty sure! Does it have some big, bare branches?
 
Does it look like this?

My tree looks like this too, and I have over 200 hours playing this game! Not sure what gives.
 
It will grow once you play for a certain amount of hours/days.

So it should grow sooner or later...

Maybe this is your problem: If you play it for HOURS a day you could reach 200 hours pretty quickly, but in order for it to grow, you need to have played a certain number of unique days as well. Say you need 20 hours and 20 days for the tree to grow to the next stage. You could reach say 20 hours in 3 days but you would have had to at least gone on the game one time a day for 20 days for it to actually grow.

Oh and I have a question

My activity log for ACNL showed Play time 440:3 what does that mean? I have play for 400 hours? O.O sound impossible...
 
From precise perspective, the tree would grow to its full height in approximately 500 hours and 500 days (found this on a website, not sure if it's 100% accurate though)
 
From the pictures on the animal crossing wiki, it looks like you can tell growth stage by the thickness of the trunk. If your ingame date is set to the same as the current date then the leaves will still be growing back from winter, so even if you should have more clusters of leaves, there's not as many

Try comparing the size of your trunk to the pictures here: http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Plaza
I think you should be able to tell what stage you're at that way
