What's considered a "tree"?

[Nefarious]

I finally hit the "too many trees" and got bumped down to 4-star again. Can I say how asinine the statement "too rural" is? This game is called Animal Forest.

Anyways, has it been confirmed what is considered a tree? I figure hardwood, cedar, fruit and palm are. The question is do bamboo, shrubs, tree stumps, saplings and stunted growth trees count in this? With those with more natural/forest islands, how have you gone about staying in the 5-star range, or have you just thrown it in the wind and stuck to 4-stars?

The 5 stars is only important of you want lily of the valley plants. Shrubs and bamboos are considered to be trees I think. Nookplaza has a calculate for the breakdown if you want to try to figure out your island score.

Yeah, I want to hoard more Lily of the Valleys. Tried buying from Nookazon, running out of bells though, so been trying to get myself back to 5. Went ahead and messed with Nookplaza's tool and seems like no matter how many of the other aspects I increase, nothing balances the amount of trees (also seems like bamboo does count as a tree and shrubs do not(?)). I'll have to experiment to see if stunted trees count or not.

5 stars also positively impacts the odds of rare mushrooms growing on your island next month

I appriciate it a lot! Don’t feel like you have to though.
I don’t have a lot of bells to spend, but I do have some nmts if you’d like to sell for those.

Not to highjack your thread but you said you're buying Lily of the Valley's from people without a 5 star island. Do they die if planted on an island that isn't 5 stars like they did in NL?

I've been knocked down for a couple of days, but all the lilies I had and the ones I've recently purchase are still alive and well. So I'm 100% sure they won't die.

That she did, but I can't blame her, she's only relaying what villagers and visitors are saying.

Though, it's not like they don't follow paths anyways, they really shouldn't be complaining about getting lost??

I checked my island rating for the first time in long time because of this thread and Isabella hit me the same thing...HOO BOY am I not a happy camper rn because I wanna go ham with the mushrooms next month lol

I think it's just all trees and bamboo? I've had a 5-star rating before the spring update and I planted a ton of bushes that didn't affect the rating at all, so that can't be it. Even though it's a bit tedious I would suggest just digging up a bunch of trees and having them in your pocket. Check back with Isabelle and if she says there's still too much, dig more away. If she says it's too little, you can easily plant more back.

mine really like hiding behind the trees in my forest to sit down or sing I was blocking off an area of my forest after finding Zell singing behind a tree. Every time I would nudge him out he would walk away while I was blocking the 1square entrance to that area, but the second I moved out of the way he would turn around and approach that area again. There are cute corners and furniture all over the island and they choose to hide behind trees for some reason. So I can't really blame Isabelle there either.
