You can give it to your villagers whenever they request fruit. In my experience, I go through it pretty quickly because my villagers ask me to get them fruit all the time, lol.
Yeah, the only reason I want it is to give it to villagers when they ask for it. I wouldn't go and spend tbt on it though, I just wait for it to grow in my town. Which it rarely does.
Some people probably like it for the way it looks. Perfect apples at least. XD
I think it's mainly because it's more of a rare or collectors item, since it's sorta exclusive unless you get it from trading with someone who has a different native fruit. Also, I've seen a lot of people use it as decoration in their house/town since most of the perfect fruits look way nicer than the regular natives anyways.
And when it comes to value, a basket of foreign (non-native) perfect fruit goes for 27k at Re-Tail, so they are pretty valuable if you collect and farm tons of them.
I guess it's because it's rarer and also because people like to give it to their villagers too. But I could be wrong, considering I'm not one of the people who wants perfect fruits a whole bunch.
Peaches are my native fruit, and the perfect ones look better than regular peaches. All perfect fruit look better, I use it in a more decorative way. And sometimes my villagers will ask me for perfect fruit too.
Some have a house that is a store. One room sells fruit and other food items.
I have fruit/plant stand in one of my museums. All my villagers get perfect fruit.
I think it's because giving a villager a perfect fruit instead of a normal fruit gives you a bigger chance of getting their picture. At least for me, that's always the case.
I give them to my villagers, whether it's when they ask or in letters. I read somewhere that it boosts your friendship level with them, but I'm not sure how true that is.
It's a great way to get villager's pictures by giving them more than what they had asked for. + If you multi-town like 90% of the people probably do you can go to their town and sell there and get Bells so fast because the foreign fruit price + perfect fruit price combined adds up really fast. Especially if you grow an orchard. Probably can get over a million bells easily with 2 runs of full pockets with them in x9 baskets.
I give perfect fruit to my villagers when they request fruit. It improves your friendship rating and they really enjoy it. I have peaches and two of my friends have oranges and pears, so we cycle fruit between our villages.
I always thought it was just for aesthetics. Idk, I also don't see the point of collecting them. But it is a faster way of trading large sums of bells.
