Shakin’ Trees
Menial Tasks We Can’t Wait to Do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
In past Animal Crossing games, shaking trees was only really good for shaking down fruit (or money), or getting stung in the face by bees. If you were really lucky, you might dislodge one of the many insects found in your town, too.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons changes this up a bit. With a whole crafting system to dive into, players can now shake trees to make branches fall to the ground. These can be picked up and then used to build new furniture or items for your home or to share with your fellow villagers. Or you can just sell it to make some extra Bells to pay off that damn loan.
Trees don’t just help to make your town look leafy, they’re a great way to make a small fortune during the early hours with the game. We’re already planning a daily morning walk around the island shaking every tree in sight.
