Question for Harvest Moon: A wonderful life
Ok, I have a few questions, all of them revolving around crops/trees. I want to grow banana trees.
1.) Can banana trees grow in all lands? (ie. Infertile and fertile)
2.) Will banana trees grow S crops instead of B crops if I use fertilizer on them? (If so, how much fertilizer do I use and how do I know when to use it?)
3.) I've been put under the impression that once trees are fully matured, they do not need to be watered. How often do I water the trees BEFORE they are fully matured, and how do I know when they have matured?
4.) I've also been put under the impression that in order for a tree to grow, every space around it has to be empty. Is this true or are there any more details to that I should be aware of?
5.) I've been told that if I befriend the scientist (I forgot his name) by giving him fish, that he will give me a free seed maker instead of me having to purchase one for $6000. Is this true? If so, is there a time restriction as far as by when this must happen... And are there any specific details on how I actually get it...?
6.) If I plant a (B) Banana seed but get it to produce S bananas... If I use the seeds from those bananas to plant more trees... Will those trees automatically produce S bananas or will I have to fertilize those also?
7.) If I need to fertilize a tree to get it to produce S crops... Does it need to be fertilized before it has fully matured or can it be fertilized at any point in time?
8.) When is the ideal time to plant banana trees? I've been told I can plant them at any time, but I'm a little worried about wasting several thousand dollars planting all of my trees in the winter if they are going to wither before they have a chance to grow. (Also, how long do they take to fully mature?)
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone can help me out!
