This article is about the seed that grows trees. For the painting, see Paintings § From Traveling Merchant.
All saplings variations from placing Acorns.

An Acorn is a type of seed used to plant trees. Acorns can be planted on regular green grass, Hallowed grass, Corrupt grass, Crimson grass, Jungle grass, Sand, or Snow, where they will create saplings that will grow into trees, under the right conditions. Acorns are randomly dropped when cutting down or shaking(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) trees, and can also be purchased from the Dryad for 10 CC each.

Acorns cannot be retrieved after being placed. Destroying the sapling will not yield any items.

Notes

  • Planting an Acorn will grow the matching tree for whatever biome it is in.
  • When planted in the Desert, Acorns grow Palm trees, not Cactus.
  • Jungle trees do not normally drop Acorns, however if a branch is hanging over a regular grass tile, the branch can very rarely drop an Acorn.
