However, even if the cutting would take root, it can only do so if the temperature is accommodating for this specific fruit tree species.<br> | However, even if the cutting would take root, it can only do so if the temperature is accommodating for this specific fruit tree species.<br> | ||
The temperature under which a fruit tree will die can vary randomly within a certain amount, however one end of this temperature zone will be favoured. In the below list, the most likely temperature is shown first, with the full possibilities in brackets behind.<br> | The temperature under which a fruit tree will die can vary randomly within a certain amount, however one end of this temperature zone will be favoured.

In the event that the tree survives and takes root, specific temperatures need to be reached and kept for a specific amount of time for the tree to actually flower and bear fruit. Therefore, for a tree to actually flower, it needs to be in an average temperature of 2°C (Min | In the event that the tree survives and takes root, specific temperatures need to be reached and kept for a specific amount of time for the tree to actually flower and bear fruit - this is inspired by real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernalization Vernalization]. Therefore, for a tree to actually flower, it needs to be in an average temperature of 2°C (Min Vernalization Temp) for at least 220 ingame hours (Min Vernalization Time) before it could start to change into its flowering phase.<br> | ||
Similarly, a fruit tree will go into dormancy under specific temperatures, which means even if it does not die, it will not be producing any fruit. | Similarly, a fruit tree will go into dormancy under specific temperatures, which means even if it does not die, it will not be producing any fruit. | ||
