Orchards | Buildings Banished Guide

Orchards are a long-term investment, but they will pay off after a few years. In the first few years you have to plant and grow trees. After four years you'll be able to collect several types of fruit:

• Apple;
• Cherrie;
• Chestnut;
• Pear;
• Plum;
• Pecan;
• Peach;
• Walnut

Soon the trees will start producing fruits!

Availability of seedlings from the beginning of the game depends on selected difficulty:

• Easy - all seedlings available;
• Medium - two types of fruit;
• Hard - no fruit trees available.

You can buy all the seedlings in the trading post when merchants visit you. Each of them costs 2500 units. Maximum size of an orchard is 15x15 units of area.

Saving a place for orchards is a good way to produce more food after spending four years to grow trees, since you don't get any fruit before they're fully grown.
