TheTown Tree is the symbolic oak tree located at the center of the town'sevent plaza inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf. At the beginning of the game, the player designated as mayor participates in a commemoration ceremony at the event plaza withIsabelle and the town'svillagers, and they plant a tree in the square's garden so that the town can have a symbol with which it can grow simultaneously.
Although it is only a sapling at first, the Town Tree grows at a steady rate based on the amount of hours that the game has been played and the number of days since the town's creation; there are six separate growth stages that it goes through before maturing – its height, diameter, and number of leaf clusters increasing each time. In addition, the player can sit on the brick edging around the tree once it reaches a certain size. This will allow them to view a list of accomplishments and statistics, as well as the game credits, while a medley of the title screen,Tortimer Island, andMain Street themes plays.
Duringfall, the Town Tree's leaves take on an orange color, gradually becoming browner until they fall off. The tree is completely bare in the winter, but oncespring comes back around, the tree regains its leaves like the other deciduous trees.
Welcome amiibo adds theTown Anniversary event, marking the anniversary of the town's founding.Isabelle will give the player asapling clock, which resembles a mature Town Tree.
