Sometimes saplings die, it depends on location. There has to be enough space between the tree and anything else around it. Basically it's one square space all the way round. You have to water it once a day. I think the day you plant it once, then the next day once, then after that you don't need to. You don't have to be that exact with the watering, it doens't matter if you miss a bit.
Some spots are just bad and nothing will grow there. If you want to be sure, cut down an existing tree, dig up the stump, and plant fruit in the hole there.

Actually with tree saplings you don't have to water them at all. If they grow they grow, if not they will be dead the day after you plant them and disappear the day after that. There are only certain places in which a tree can grow and it's a bit trial and error finding them. If a tree is growing it will take about 4 days to reach full fruit bearing loveliness and you don't have to water it at all.
You can ALWAYS grow a tree where there is an existing tree, so if you want to grow fruit trees the best thing to do is chop down a boring no-fruit tree and then toss the fruit into the hole where once it grew.
Palm trees can only be grown near to the sea (up to about 3-4 squares back from the beach I guess), and again it's a bit random where they will and won't grow.
Also I would still advise donating bugs and fish to the museum the first time you get them because you can only catch each one for a limited time period (except fucking Sea Bass which never die). So you can only get Salmon and King Salmon in September, for example. If you don't donate one to the museum you'll have to wait until next September to be able to do so. But if you don't care about donating to Blathers then it won't matter (though I like his fear of bugs). I do hate donating paintings though as they are almost always fake. That Redd is a crook.

I heard a rumour that when you donate a species of fish or insect to Blathers it becomes more common?
I never caught Zebra Turkeyfishes for ages, and then as soon as I gave one to the museum they always show up.
I only started playing a few weeks ago so I am sick to death of catching salmon.

Hmmm, well fish appear according to the time of year, so maybe that's why they became more common.

I finally grew a coconut tree! I'm so excited!
...But is it meant to only be the same height as I am, or have I done it wrong?

Everyone will have moved away when you go back, and the ground will be covered with weeds. So sad.

I stopped playing for the whole summer - when I picked it up again in September only one person had moved out (I still have two people in my village who moved in when I first played the game on Christmas Day last year - I am reduced to a war of attrition and sending them offensive mail to try and get rid of them). The weeds are annoying but not so much as the bugs that infest your house when you don't play the game for a while.
It's all about Zelda for me at the moment thoughbut.

I might have a go on it tomorrow.
I was watching Paul O'Grady today and he sent somr bint to the Caribean to catch fish and she caught a Red Snapper! It made me far to excited.

I forgot to play yesterday and now my turnips will be dead. I'd been growing them for two weeks. Curse my rubbish memory.

You only need to grow turnips for about 6 days. I grew mine for 3 weeks once and I got the exact same amount of money as ones I'd only done for 7 days.

I have an asteroid. It fell out of a tree. Does it do anything? I feel a bit stupid just having it hover in a corner of my sitting room.

It doesn't do anything. I sold mine.

I'm just getting into Animal Crossing and loving it. I'm always skint though because I spend all my money on stationary to send hate mail to my neighbour Gwen.
I hate her so much.

I've only just got this now. And I'm very confused at practically everything. I spent a long time trying to turn a box round in my room.
And I'm terribly worried at having such a large mortgage in the current market conditions. That Nook is such a bastard.

I haven't touched my Animal Crossing for several months now, and so I am actually afraid to go back to it. I'm convinced that there will be a plague of weeds and Tom Nook will have garotted my people for not paying their mortgage on time.

Right, I've set up my wifi again, so if anyone wants to visit my town or let me visit theirs and steal your fruit and turnips, PM me your friend code.

I'm still playing. I have quite a large house, with three rooms and the bedroom bit.
What I don't like is that you make an effort to be friends with someone and they give you their picture, and then you forget to go on for 3 days and when you come back you have a letter to say they've left town!

That happened to me yesterday - and after I'd shamelessly begged them to stay, as well! What a cunt.

Once you've got someone's picture you don't need them anymore, they can bugger off.

We should have a virtual lowculture meet on Animal Crossing! More than one person can visit at once can't they?

This game is still confusing me. Today I got a message in a bottle telling me that someone called Shawn and someone called Sean had got married, and they were looking forward to spending their life together.
Thats very nice, and I hope they are very happy. But who are they and where has this come from?
Anyway, obviously I found this FILTHY GAY PROPAGANDA deeply offensive, and I shall be contacting the Daily Mail, the Pope, Watchdog, and other relevant authorities immediately.
