Celebrate the arrival of fall with leaf piles, a decorative tree, and more!
It’s officially Fall on islands in the Northern Hemisphere in Animal Crossing: New Horizons!
With this change of seasons, players can now collect two new crafting materials (acorns and pine cones), as well as a series of “Tree’s Bounty” and Fall-themed DIY recipes.
When you first play Animal Crossing: New Horizons during the Fall season, Isabelle will give you the recipe for the “Tree’s Bounty Little Tree” automatically. This decoration requires six pine cones, four acorns, and one hardwood to craft.
From there, you can collect the rest of the Tree’s Bounty-, acorn-, and pine cone-themed recipes by shooting down balloons that float over your island, or by picking up bottles containing DIY recipes on the beach.
