Optimal path to watering and petting wood trees to maturity??

I'm working on the wood tree achievements. The trees have to be planted, then watered and petted until fully grown. No fertilidusting allowed. Has anyone worked out the optimum path to growing the trees to maturity? Two watering and pettings per game day seem necessary. Are additional waterings and pettings helpful?

  • Dust can be used for branches 2 & 3. Its only the 4 and final branch which requires pet+water for the achievement.

    You can pet+water them every 5 minutes, and it takes 5 rounds to grow the 4th branch.

  • With judicious petting and watering, you can go from 3 to 4 in one game day and make the first harvest.  Then you wait for another game day for the 2nd harvest, and then pet and water your way to 4 again.

    Wait, harvest, wait, harvest, then pet/water to 4.  Repeat 250 times.

  • Wow, I'm glad I asked!! I had assumed I had to start with a newly planted bean each time. Thanks for the wisdom!

  • I'm glad you asked, too, Hawkwell. I've been trying to get this quest done for 8 months!

  • If you are really into abbetting you can ask a friend / global to help chop your trees back down to 3 branches, thus you can get it multiple times a game day.

  • Back in Groddle Forest days, a friend and I planted our back yards with wood trees. One of us worked until we got the badge, and then the other one did.   I followed my friend around a couple times just to harvest the 2nd time so they could start the process again.
