Fruits arefood items in theAnimal Crossing series. They can be buried to grow fruit-bearing trees. Eachtown or island starts with several fruit trees that bear one of five types of fruit—either apples, cherries, oranges, peaches, or pears—that is known as the native fruit and sells for 100Bells each. The other four non-native fruits can be obtained later through other means and sell for 500 Bells each. Coconuts sell for 150 Bells inAnimal Crossing, 500 Bells inAnimal Crossing: Wild World andAnimal Crossing: City Folk, and 250 Bells inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf andAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. Prior toNew Horizons, eating a fruit has no effect except freeing up space in the player's pockets.
Appearances[edit]
In the first-generation games[edit]
In everyfirst-generationAnimal Crossing game, both native and non-native fruits can be obtained as gifts fromvillagers, andballoon presents have a 20% chance of containing a non-native fruit.
InDoubutsu no Mori+,Animal Crossing andDoubutsu no Mori e+,coconuts can be obtained from palm trees onAnimal Island and planted in one of the F-acres in town.
InWild World[edit]
InAnimal Crossing: Wild World, both native and non-native fruits can be obtained fromletters from villagers[nb 1] andMom. Coconuts now wash up on the beach every few days.
Wendell will give a specific design to the player depending on the food he is given. The following designs can be received if the player gives him fruit:
| Traded fruit | Design |
|---|---|
 Apple Cherry Orange Peach Pear |  Brick Box |
 Coconut |  Speed Boost |
InCity Folk[edit]
InAnimal Crossing: City Folk, non-native fruits can be obtained in two different ways. The most common way to acquire non-native fruit by traveling to a town where they grow and can mail fruit to players in other towns. The player can alternatively send a letter to a resident of their town with the contents saying "How are you?" with a fruit attached, native or not. A couple days later, a letter with a present attached will be received, containing either a fruit (native or non-native) or a shirt. The same thing works withsick neighbors, with "Get well soon!" being on the letter. Like inWild World, coconuts wash up on the beach every few days.

InNew Leaf[edit]
InAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, individual fruit in the player'spockets can be stacked together to create a fruit basket, which can hold up to 9 fruit in a single inventory slot. Villagers can now request the player to give them a specific fruit, and fruits can be given toDr. Shrunk in exchange for learning one of his jokes.
Six types of exotic fruit are introduced: banana, durian, lemon, lychee, mango, and persimmon, all of which sell for 250 Bells. None grow natively in the town, and can only be obtained from trees found onTortimer Island orTour islands, except for persimmon, which can only be purchased from thegardening corner atT&T Emporium for 1,000 Bells. Coconuts can also be obtained onTortimer Island. Like coconuts, bananas grow from palm trees and can only be planted on beach sand. The other exotic fruits can be grown on land, similarly to common fruit.
"Perfect" variants are introduced for the five common fruits: perfect apple, perfect cherry, perfect orange, perfect peach, and perfect pear. They can be sold for higher value than the regular variants (600 Bells if native, 3,000 Bells if non-native).
When a town is created, one of the fruits on a single fruit tree will be assigned to grow as a perfect variant; once harvested, it can be planted to grow a tree bearing three perfect fruits. Once a perfect fruit tree is harvested around four to seven times, its leaves fall off, and one of its three fruits becomes a "rotten" variant, which acts as atrash item.
InNew Horizons[edit]
InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons,eating a fruit gives the player one energy point, allowing them to break rocks and dig up trees. The exotic fruits fromNew Leaf do not return; like in earlier games, only the five possible native fruits and the coconut appear inNew Horizons. All fruits now stack to ten.
An island's native fruit can be purchased fromNook's Cranny for
400Bells, and it is displayed on the player'spassport. In addition to a native fruit, each island has a secondary fruit, which will appear on trees on certainMystery Islands. Mystery Islands are also the source of coconuts.Mom will also deliver a third fruit, unrelated to the island's native and secondary fruit. The remaining two fruits therefore require trading withother players.

InPocket Camp[edit]
InAnimal Crossing: Pocket Camp, all five common fruits, as well as coconuts, can be found growing on trees in various locations on the map. The specific trees that are fruit-bearing, and the specific fruit grown on them, are randomly determined for each player. Only existing fruit trees, which bear fruit roughly every 2-3 hours, can be harvested as the player is unable to plant new trees.Fertilizer can be used on fruit trees to make the tree immediately grow new fruit.
- Apples, cherries, oranges, peaches, and pears grow on fruit trees atBreezy Hollow andLost Lure Creek.
- Coconuts grow on palm trees atSaltwater Shores andSunburst Island.
- Version 2.1.0 introduced three exotic fruits: lemons, lychees, and grapes. One is assigned as the player's "local" fruit, and will grow on fruit trees at Breezy Hollow and Lost Lure Creek.
- InPocket Camp, the other two fruits could be obtained from other players' market boxes.
- InPocket Camp Complete, the other two fruits can only be obtained randomly as a gift from other players atWhistle Pass.
All local fruit sells for 10 Bells, while non-local fruit sells for 600 Bells.
Perfect fruits return fromNew Leaf, alongside the introduction of perfect lemon, perfect lychee, and perfect grapes. There is a 2.38% chance for perfect fruit to grow on any fruit tree. Local perfect fruits sell for 600 Bells, while non-local ones sell for 1,200 Bells. Lemons and lychees have a different appearance fromNew Leaf, but the perfect variants resemble their designs in that game.
Fruit is used to completerequests for villagers. Villagers will ask specifically for the five common fruits, coconuts, and the player's local fruit, while any fruit may be selected for requests in which the villager does not specify a particular fruit.
Theapp icon used for versions 5.4.0 – 5.4.0b displayed a banana sprite, however neither bananas (as a harvestable fruit) nor the icon itself appear in the game.
