Snowbound fruit garden

Orchards Main farm

I see it as a valuable bonus building that expands fruit production beyond the regular orchards, even though, since it isn't available in the shop, you can't rely on it as a plannable step in your progress.

What it's for

Use fertilizer to grow apples or cherries in this orchard. You can switch anytime the orchard is not producing.

Produces

The Snowbound fruit garden is a seasonal variant of the apple or cherry orchard - it sits at the end of the economic cycle, because to start production it needs fertilizer made in the silo from manure. On a 6x6 plot you can choose between apples and cherries, which you then process further in the bakery, and as a by-product you collect leaves for the composter. You can't buy this building in the shop, it comes to your farm another way, for example by completing a quest or as part of a game event. It suits anyone who wants to expand fruit production without having to deal with buying and placing another regular orchard.

When to build it

Since you don't set the garden up through the shop, the question of when to build it really means when to start using it once you've obtained it. It pays to put it into production immediately, because even at level one it can turn seaweed fertilizer into a hefty batch of apples. Given the large 6x6 footprint and the fact that it's a unique building, one will be enough for you.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrades cost dollars only and the prices climb really steeply, from 800,000 at level two up to 25 million at level nine. For ordinary dollar buildings that would be a lot, but here it comes back in yield - apple production from seaweed fertilizer rises from 530 to 1120 units per batch, so more than double. Given the rising prices it makes sense to progress steadily as your farm grows, rather than pushing the building to the maximum right away.

Tip from a veteran player I personally prefer seaweed fertilizer - unlike regular or premium fertilizer the garden processes it instantly and on top of that it brings the most bonus XP per batch.
Most common mistake Players often forget that you can only choose the crop while the orchard isn't producing - once you've started apple or cherry production you have to wait for the harvest before you can switch it.
