Achievements for growing wood trees-Fertilidust okay?

No offense fellow Glitches, but could someone on staff please answer this question for me? I've scanned past posts and there is conflicting info and never a reply from TS.

When planting wood trees for achievements (ex. Wood Abettor), can Fertilidust be used at any point in the growing process? Does it have to be all petting and watering by hand from seedling to the full four-branch stage? Some petting and then Fertilidust? Vicie Versie?
Thanks!

  • I've gotten the badge by using Fertilidust for part of the process, but the key is to not use it to get the full four-branch stage. It doesn't matter what method you use to grow the Wood Tree, as long as you are hand petting it to reach the four-branch stage, then it will count for the achievement.

  • Yes, it's been confirmed by Marebito, who currently has the most achievements so I'm pretty sure this is accurate :)

  • Pinky swear, I got the 103 badge using mostly patience and petting, but tossed in a few fertilidusts here and there.

  • Aaaaand, it worked! Excellent.
    Thanks for the advice.
    My recipe was:
    plant the wood bean
    pet 3x
    wait till it became a stump
    Fertilidusted until 3 branches grew
    watered & petted until the 4th branch came out, thus completing the tree

    It was about a half hour of waiting, watering, and petting and repeating until completion.
    I am going to try Fertilidusting for the first 3 branches and then experiment with Fertilidust Lite to see how close I can get before actually springing that last branch.
    To be continued...

  • serfer0, that won't help. Fertildust and Lite do the same amount of growing, but Fertilidust is for all the trees on the street and Lite is just for the closest one.

  • Jello, you are correct. I abandoned the Fertilidust(s) idea.
    After the 3rd branch popped out it took 6 more waterings and pettings spaced 5 minutes apart to grow the final branch.
    That is all.

  • Can the tree be harvested down to 3 and then back up to 4 for credit?

  • Just double checking and bumping thread. 

    A tree can be 4 branches.  Harvested down to 3.  Petted/Watered back to 4 branches.  Said tree then counts toward achievement.

  • I got the badge using my own tree in my own backyard. It's not too difficult. And it's much easier that way!
