Why you need ALL the fruits in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Fruit In Animal Crossing: New Horizons is Very Important

Animal Crossing: New Horizons fruit is important. Not just for aesthetic reasons or variety, but for crafting and giving gifts to villagers to get the rare villager photo.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a variety of fruits available, not as many as Animal Crossing New Leaf, unfortunately, but it’s nice to know Nintendo has added the same amount to resemble the older games, like Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk.

How to get All the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fruits

The player can obtain all the fruits by either going to another island with Nook Mile Tickets, visiting a friend’s island with other fruit, waiting for a villager to send one in the post or finding one in the Resident Services recycling box. Nook Mile Tickets can be obtained from the Nook Stop in resident services.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fruit DIYs

With fruits, you can easily craft many of the fruit DIYs such as a peach chair, a peach surprise box, pear wardrobe, apple dress or cherry speakers! Having a fruit-themed room or island can look very eventful. These items can not be bought in Nook’s Cranny and are exclusive to craft from the DIY.

Villager Friendship Points

Another reason to have all the Animal Crossing: New Horizon fruits are because collecting exactly 3 foreign fruits (one different from your local island fruit) and giving it wrapped to a villager will give you maximum friendship points from a gift for that day.

With a piece of clothing or furniture item, it’s not 100% guaranteed the player will get the maximum friendship points for that villager, this even goes for crafted items. It’s a lot less risky to give the villager a stack of foreign fruit, as this means you’ll be guaranteed success each time.

Once you’ve reached enough friendship points, you’ll be able to acquire a friendship photo from your favourite villager. These are extremely rare and do take a while to get, but once you get one, it’ll be a framed picture of them with a few unique words of wisdom on the back.

Island Aesthetic & Cooking

Lastly, having a nice variety of fruit allows players to cook more recipes, since the Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 Update, players have been able to unleash their creativity by cooking dishes and placing them around the island. Not to mention, these dishes look amazing around the island!

Fun Fact: If you eat the fruit, your villager will gain a certain amount of strength to dig up whole trees or break rocks! Many have used fruit trees to make a mini-grove and some players even collect a certain amount of fruit for their travelling to help them collect materials. Fruit is very useful.
