well obviously you have to shake the trees - but I've put mine on my last island so they're easy to find (right under your nose when you arrive at my zoo ).
Yes pear trees are a drop in the ocean..............but Golden Rain trees (quite a lot more upgrades on from where I am right now ) are worth $25,000 per tree you shake..........and I understand there are even more valuable trees that you can upgrade to once you've got enough Golden Rains............
So
pear trees - $25 a shake
but as you know with 3 pear trees you can upgrade to a tree that is worth $100 per shake
HOWEVER - it goes on...........
3xJasminum Sambac - gives you a Crab Apple tree - $400 each day from it
3xCrab Apples gives you a Pomegranate Tree - $1600 a day
3xPomegranate Trees gives you a Star Fruit tree - £6400 a day
3xStar Fruit trees and you get up upgrade to a Golden Rain tree - $25,000 a shake........
Problem is once you've used a tree to upgrade to the next - that's it it's gone - so atm I have
1 pear tree
2 crab apple trees
2 pomegranate trees
I need LOTS AND LOTS of pear trees to be able to keep upgrading to the most profitable trees - and to have lots of the profitable ones.
But no - I don't get the topiaries either
