Cherry Sapling Information

The Cherry Sapling is a Fruit Tree sapling that takes 28 days to grow into a Cherry Tree, after which it will produce one fruit each day during the Spring. Like all Fruit Trees, it will produce fruit all year round if planted in the Greenhouse.

It can be purchased from Pierre's General Store and occasionally from the Traveling Cart. It may occasionally be found in treasure rooms in the Skull Cavern.

Cherry Sapling Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [628]. You will then receive the Cherry Sapling item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [628] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Cherry Sapling item.
