Apple tree

Growing it

Plant a packet of Apple sapling in an empty bed. It takes 36 h of real time to the first picking, while you cook and while the app is closed. Water it once per growth stage to bring it on (each can is worth 8% of its growing time); a sack of compost brings it on by 50%. Nothing ever wilts.

It is picked 3 times before the bed is free again, flowering in between for 18 h.

What it gives

• Apple compote: 48 portions a picking, before mastery and ornaments. Home-grown, it costs the till nothing, adds 0,30 € to the tip, and is on the menu for the day whenever your shelf holds some that morning, even before its card is bought.

Buying the seed

It goes on sale once you have picked 22 harvests in all. The crate has 1 packet a day, at 11,00 € each. An everyday packet is only sold once the market has delivered the fruit it grows (or the pantry had it from the start).
