is this normal? my tree's scores keep plummeting but the only option I ever have is to spray them for bugs. that little house thing doesnt do any either, it helps my vegetables just fine but the tree right next to it still gets bugs like there's no tomorrow.

is this normal? if it is, how am I suppose to keep the stupid trees alive? literally the only option I get is 'kill them' (aka, spray them).

It's normal to not be able to water orchard trees - you normally can just "tend" them when they need a trim, and talk to them if you have a gold gardening badge. The ladybug house is not a 100% fix against bugs and it's not instant either... you might try a second house near the trees to see if that helps. Try to avoid spraying if you can at all. I don't bother with orchard trees with gardening, honestly - unless you have a gardening badge and can talk to them a lot, they're more trouble than they're worth.

well I normally avoid them too, but I'm doing the legacy challenge so I put one up, and either way if I can keep the thing alive it'll make the children do their homework faster.

i'll try to put two or maybe three houses around the tree and see if that helps, thanks

edit: hooray! it worked! I actually have a healthy apple tree now! thanks so much!
