🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod was last updated in 2019, make sure your Stardew Valley version is compatible—check the mod page for any patches.
If you use other mods that alter fruit trees or Junimo Huts, test them together to avoid conflicts.
You can place fruit trees right next to paths, fences, or other objects now—but remember they still need space to be walked around for harvesting.
