Do You Need a Golden Shovel for a Money Tree?

The answer is simple: no, you don’t need a golden shovel for a money tree. In the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can grow a money tree with any shovel, and you don’t need a rare or special shovel, such as the golden shovel.

Growing a Money Tree

To grow a money tree, you will need to bury Bells in a shining spot and dig up the sapling when it appears. It’s a simple process, but it requires some preparation. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Burial Process

• Dig a hole in the desired location
• Take 10,000 Bells and bury them in the hole
• Mark the spot with a shaking, glowing sapling (or a tree)
• Dig up the sapling to claim your reward of triple the amount of Bells you buried

Properties of the Golden Shovel

While the golden shovel is not necessary for growing a money tree, it does have some useful properties. The golden shovel can be used to dig up rocks and fruit 200 times, giving you a steady supply of valuable resources. Additionally, you can use it to harvest materials from trees. However, it only has these benefits and doesn’t provide any advantages in terms of growing a money tree.
