Community Tips

"Cherries are the end-game goal. Every harvest should be a calculated risk. I've made $100M in a single Starstruck harvest, but I've also lost $5M from bad weather timing." - Top Player

"Never plant Cherries without weather alerts. The difference between a normal harvest and a Starstruck harvest is $25M per plant. That's not a gamble worth taking." - Pro Gardener

"I recommend starting with 3-5 Cherries to learn the rhythm. Once you master the weather patterns, scale up to 20+ plants for maximum profit." - Millionaire Club
