What's Going On With My Trees!?

[Zuke]

The non fruit trees would be more desirable to have if they were a different graphic then the harvested fruit trees.

I am still getting my wasps and furniture so far this has not been a problem with me.

Update to this, in case anyone's interested or comes across a similar problem themselves:

For the sixth day in a row, I shook every non-fruit tree on my island - all 137 of them by my count - and still didn't get any furniture.

Following the advice on here, I temporarily removed any blockages covering the three tiles infront of any trees (I have a handful of trees where benches, hedges, flowers fill the space infront)...and found two pieces of furniture!

It seems highly unlikely that with all the trees it could spawn in, the furniture was only spawning in the half dozen or so 'blocked in' trees each day, so this might suggest that once the furniture spawns, it stays where it is until it's found, no matter how long that might take. i.e. - the furniture was there in the same two trees each day, but couldn't fall because I had things blocking the front three tiles. Until I found that furniture, it was never going to move and spawn in another tree the next day.

I’ve had something similar on my island. Just about every tree I shake always drops money or wasps (luckily since I almost expect this to happen, I can make some money off of it lol)

So I've never been a regular tree-shaker, but have found a fair few items and a whole bunch of wasp nests by giving them a shake every now and then when I have time.

A few nights ago I decided to go around my island and give them all a shake, looking for furniture...and nothing!

The same last night.

Tonight, I've just shaken every single tree on my island (there are LOTS, as Isabelle likes to tell me!), and again...no furniture and only two wasp nests.

There are a few trees which have no free spaces around them, but not that many, and I assume the game would spawn the wasps and furniture in a different tree in that instance? The vast majority of my trees just drop a branch.

Any ideas!?

I am experiencing the same problem. For about a week now I’ve had NOTHING from my trees.

I only shake trees on mistery islands and those are working fine

Have you made sure EVERY tree has at least one free space in front of it?

One of those X's has to be free for an item to land.

I'd assumed that the items would randomly spawn each morning, and since only a handful of my trees were blocked off, the chances of them repeatedly spawning in those trees was really low - it didn't make sense that I wasn't finding any items.

However, what I realised is that the item will spawn in a particular tree and won't move until you find it - even if it stays there for months on end.

If you have any blocked off trees, I'd recommend shifting whatever is in the way and giving them a shake!

They could be, I suppose. Nothing's falling and disappearing into the flowers like happens if a balloon pops above a blocked-in tile, though.

unlike new leaf, if there are flowers surrounding your trees they won't drop anything at all, even if they are fruit trees. that way the items dont disappear.

I’ve cleared everything from trees that had flowers etc. I still get nothing. I even have trees that have NOTHING around them, completely off by themselves , and I get nothing.
