Dying/neglected tree?

Hey guys: I found something tonight I've never, ever seen before. I'm assuming this cherry tree is just dying or neglected, but wanted to confirm. I couldn't harvest--only pet and water, which didn't make a difference. When I did pet/water and the piggies nibbled it, it shrank to a normal, piggy-nibbled-looking tree, then returned to the state that you see in the photo. After fertilidusting, it returned to normal.

Is this a normal neglected tree-state?

  • Wow, I've never seen that happen before. I don't think I've ever seen a neglected cherry tree, but I have seen all other trees in a neglected state.

  • Nice find... I didn't know about that. I've seen neglected bean trees, but they seemed just fine because I could pet and water...hmmm

  • i saw one, weeks ago in a house street. the other trees were ok, so i wonder if someone left it on purpose... i don't know what can come out from a dead neglected tree... i petted and watered her and i hope the secret of the sb-1 don't come out from one:)

  • I saw a tree like that today, right after a Rook attack.  It was in Rasana, I think it was on Karka Dakam, or at least in that area.

  • Iconoclast -- that's where I found this one. Hmm.

  • It's a neglected tree all right. I got one in my yard when I planted a bean and pet the sapling thrice then logged out. I logged back in a day later and I got a tree just like that. You just need to water and pet it for it to start growing pink leaves and cherries, but it will take about five repetitions for it to be fully pink again.

  • I see this often.  Maybe it's because I walk all over Ur every day so I see a lot of trees.  Trees didn't originally get in this condition.  I think it was added after the end of the first Beta.  I usually pet and water them.  If I can't harvest, I figure that is because someone else had just harvested it but neglected to pet and water.  I can't say if that is so or not.  Tree will eventually die and this could be the beginning of that.

  • Also, the piggies will nibble all the fruit off the tree for food, and if no one comes along to pet/water it, they eventually get to this stage of 'no fruit'.

  • And yes, to be sure, this is a normal condition where it needs some love and attention before Ur's sweet bounty of color and fruit is given to you.  :)

  • FWIW, I can confirm the tree will eventually die through neglect. I regretfully accomplished this with a tree in my house.

  • Thanks all! I wander a fair bit myself and knew that unloved trees existed; I'd just neverever seen one before and didn't know if that's what I was actually seeing. It was exciting to find something new (new to me, at least!). Am happy to report that it looked fully recovered after a good fertilidusting.
