Growing Oak Trees
Acorns are the necessary seed for planting more Oak Trees. Players can acquire Acorns in different ways. The most common method is chopping down or shaking Oak Trees, which has a chance of dropping Acorns.
It may also be available at the Traveling Cart’s randomized stock, sold for 100 to 1,000g. Additionally, players can find Acorns by searching Garbage Cans around town or using an Axe or Pickaxe on planted Acorns in some regions of Stardew Valley.
Once players have obtained Acorns, they can plant them in suitable locations on their farm or designated outdoor areas.
Oak Trees require ample growth space, so choosing appropriate planting spots is essential. The process of planting Acorns is straightforward and visually represented in the game.
