What it does
- 01
Seasons at one week a day
One real day is one week for the tree. Dormancy, bud break, spring growth, summer, autumn colour and leaf fall: the 3D tree changes with the seasons. Going away? "Away mode" pauses time.
- 02
8 species, 6 styles, 14 pots
Black pine, Japanese maple, Japanese white pine, shimpaku juniper, zelkova, cherry, ficus and satsuki azalea. Six styles: formal upright, informal upright, slanting, cascade, literati and windswept. Fourteen pots, three of them from the supporter pack.
- 03
Real care jobs
Water, prune by tapping a branch, pinch new shoots, defoliate, wire branches by bending them with arrows, repot and fertilize. The game warns you when a job is out of season. Wire left on too long leaves scars, and removing too much foliage at once weakens the tree.
- 04
Growth based on research
Growth follows a model from tree-growth research: branches share resources, compete for light, and the trunk thickens with age. Trees never die. They only weaken.
- 05
Shows with real scoring
Enter town, prefectural, national and masters shows. Scoring follows real judging sheets: trunk 10, root flare 5, branches 5, apex 5, pot 5, health 5, style 10, for 45 points. You get feedback on faults such as reverse taper, crossing branches, bar branches, two apexes and branches pointing at the viewer.

FAQ
Can my tree die?
No. Trees weaken if neglected or if too much foliage is removed at once, but they never die. If you can't play for a while, "away mode" pauses time.
How fast does time pass?
One real day is one week for the tree. With "Unlock everything" you can also fast-forward "+1 week" up to 3 times a day.
What if I do a job out of season?
The game warns you when a job is out of season.
What is free?
One tree (black pine or maple), 3 styles and the town show are free. The one-time "Unlock everything" adds up to 8 trees, all species, styles, pots and shows, and the "+1 week" fast-forward. There are no ads and no subscription.
What is in the supporter pack?
Three decorative pots. They are for looks only, and you don't need them to play.
How do I turn off watering reminders?
Reminders are scheduled on the device only if you allow notifications. You can turn them off at any time in iPhone Settings > Notifications.
