How to Farm Apples in The Blockheads

Steps

Be in a temperate or equatorial biome region. These are the places where apples will grow.

Gather randomly. Apples can be gathered from trees growing randomly in the game. This is good to begin with but a guaranteed way to get constant supply is to make an orchard when you have gathered about a half dozen apples to plant.

Planting an apple orchard

For a more self-directed farming method than simply gathering randomly, make an orchard.

Choose an area to make the apple orchard. Find a suitable flat area of dirt. Apples can also be grown on compost. This is a crafted item that helps trees and plants to grow faster. It looks darker than soil.

Plant the trees a few blocks apart. If they're too close together, they'll cramp each other and won't grow as successfully.

Let the trees grow. They need to be mature before they can be harvested. Meditating all your blockheads at the same time will speed up time and your trees will grow faster.

Harvesting apples

Note that the apples grow seasonally. To speed up a season, meditate.

Tap on the exact spot where the apple has grown. Your Blockhead character will climb the tree and collect the apple to your inventory. You don't need a special tool to collect but if you use a machete, your harvest will be bigger.

Chop down an apple tree for wood, sticks and apples. If you no longer want the tree where it is, chop it down with an axe. Any apples already on it will drop on the ground. Tap on the dropped apples to add them to your inventory. Also tap on sticks if they haven't already gone into your inventory.
