I’ve never planted Ancient Fruit outside, always in the greenhouse. I see that it lasts 3 seasons. Does it die in winter or just “hibernate.” Will it need to be replanted on Spring day 1?
All of these are not crops, even though giant crops seem like they should be. Once you have to use an axe to cut them down, they are no longer technically a crop.I think only Tea saplings, fruit trees and giant mushrooms are the ones that 'hibernate'. I suppose giant crops, too, although you have to cut them down to harvest them... although now I wish you could tap them like trees and get regular sized crops during their season, that'd be nice.
Wait a minute, I've always planted fertilizer in my greenhouse irrespective of season and it has never disappeared. I've used both quality and deluxe fertilizer, and it all stays forever unless I remove it myself.As a note for greenhouse growers as well, though they won’t die with a season change to a non-growing season, that will eliminate the fertilizer. So don’t plant them Fall 27 with Deluxe Speed Gro, wait until Winter 1 so your fertilizer has full impact. Outdoors as long as the plant survives so will your fertilizer if I recall correctly. And yeah, growing some in the greenhouse to turn into seeds to plant in spring outdoors is my usual strategy, it’s fun and very effective.
I think this was a game mechanic change maybe with v1.5? So nowadays it works like you say, with Fertilizer/Speed Gro/Retaining Soil not disappearing until the spot is cleared, either by disuse or pickaxeing. The soil additives used to disappear at season's change and I think also once you harvested a single-harvest crop in the v1.3.x days but I don't remember if the change happened in v1.4 or v1.5.Wait a minute, I've always planted fertilizer in my greenhouse irrespective of season and it has never disappeared.

Actually nowadays fertilizer stays forever in the greenhouse, pots, and ginger island (the former two don’t even need a crop on it not to decay). You have to pickaxe it to get rid of it.As a note for greenhouse growers as well, though they won’t die with a season change to a non-growing season, that will eliminate the fertilizer.
