Move Fruit Trees

Have you ever planted a fruit tree that you later regretted being there? Has the fruit tree aged to the point where it produces quality fruit and it'd be a shame to chop down?

I'd love for the ability to move fruit trees. Maybe make it an end game ability purchasable with qi gems. Maybe Robin knows a guy who drives one of those cool specialised tree moving trucks (look them up, they're pretty cool). Or maybe the Wizard knows some magic or something related to the Junimos. I've got mango and banana trees on Ginger Island I'd like to move, but at the same time I don't want to chop them, I'm so torn.

Honestly, I don't see the problem. Even at iridium quality, the amount of money that you get from fruit trees is quite low. I wouldn't mind chopping them down and planting some saplings again...

To expand on what Fonselot said, some fruit tree fruit is good for cooking (apples and apricots), but the rest? Even at iridium quality, it is better to process it into preserves than to just sell it. Starting over on the maturation and aging of your fruit trees is a minor thing. (The only time this is not the case is when you are collecting gifts for folks that like/love tree fruit of some sort.)

Sure, that means cutting down a tree and replanting, but that should be a small hurdle with a small price tag by the time you are already getting silver or higher quality fruit.

I have my greenhouse filled with all the fruit trees I could plant, all iridium, and I'm probably chopping them down because I find them annoying, giving me so much less space to move and hiding a good portion of the crops, and now I can just put them on the Island to keep the fruit-all-year advantage.

Honestly, now that we have different-quality cooking I would argue the quality of the ingredients should affect the quality of the cooking. Or, better yet, affect the quality of any derived product, like processing quality milk and quality ostrich eggs do.

Except quality milk does nothing. It's large that makes gold cheese.

Ah, my friend, I can see why you'd think that. But see, you need to give love to your cows to make more likely getting large milk, and given that that also makes more likely for it to be of highest quality anyway, you could assert that, technically, large milk is just a better quality milk anyways.

Yup, that's totally what I originally meant, didn't made a mistake at all!
