How to Get Different Fruits in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Seeking the easiest cash grab on your island? You’d be surprised to find out how much you can make from having different fruits at your disposal. The native fruit on your island — an apple, pear, peach, orange, or cherry — can be found on various tree types but doesn’t carry enough weight to rake in substantial money (Bells).
Given this, your best bet is to collect foreign fruits, which have more value than your native ones. There are several ways to do that, each of which we’ll discuss in this guide. Keep reading to find out how to get different fruits in Animal Crossing.
4 Best Ways to Get Different Fruits in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Get a Nook Miles Ticket
You can get a Nook Miles Ticket in exchange for 2,000 Nook Miles at the Resident Services building. You can take this ticket to your island’s airport, from where you’ll be flown to a random island. You can collect various supplies from this island, one of which could be a fruit not native to your island.
You can then bring whatever fruit you find from this island back home to your island and plant it. While you can sell it off for some quick bucks, the wise option is to cultivate it and sell off the bearings in their multitudes. And this translates to more money.
Pick Up Fruits from a Friend’s Island
While visiting a friend’s island doesn’t automatically give you access to their properties, you can look around for the fruit types thereon. If they’re anything your island lacks, request that your friend add you to their Best Friends list.
Being on their best friends list empowers you to interact with their environment and not just be an onlooker, a great avenue to mine valuables and bring them back to your island. You’ll need a Dodo Code to visit a friend’s island. Follow these guides to add friends and become friends on the game.
Get a Gift-starched Mail
Being on a Best Friends list is not the only perk you gain from visiting a friend’s island. Doing so also unlocks the ability to mail them and vice versa. Your friend will be able to send a card to you from their airport and attach a gift such as fruits to spice things up.
Check Online Communities
This is your best bet if you’re looking to fill your island with different fruits quickly. Players share their Dodo Codes on such communities, allowing players to which their portals are open to explore and pick up essential items.
Of course, you just don’t come to someone’s island picking things like you own them. You have to seek their consent and, sometimes, drop a tip for using the island. You’ll find such communities on Reddit, Discord, or even by making a quick search on a search engine.

Final Notes
And that’s how to get different fruits in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The idea is always to plant and plant as you acquire these different fruits. That’s the only way to keep their population growing on your island. Who knows, you might turn out to be the one inviting friends for fruits in the near future.
Do not stop planting. Never mind that non-native fruits sell for more Bells on any given island.
