There is a variety of trees and bushes in Hay Day:  For other plants, see fields which produce '   crops.
 * Original trees and bushes which appear on your farm when you begin the game
 * Decorative trees and bushes which  can be bought in the  shop  with  coins  or won as rewards.
 * Fruit trees and bushes  produce fruit and can be bought in the shop with coins.
 * Nectar bushes provide nectar for  honey bees  and are unlocked at  level  39. Each bush costs 120 coins.
 * Beehive Tree  is where the  beehives   honey bees  live in are hung. The beehive tree is unlocked at  Level  39 and costs 4,000 coins

Growth Cycle
Fruit trees and bushes and Nectar bushes have growth cycles, at the end of which they produce either fruit or nectar. They also wither (2nd last cycle) and die (final cycle).

Fruit Growth Cycle
Trees and bushes have four growth cycles, at the end of each cycle fruits can be harvested. The first time the player harvests a bush or tree, they receive two fruits. The second time, three. The third time the tree or bush yields four fruits and then withers; at this stage the tree or bush can be removed or it can be revived by another player for an additional harvest. The fourth and final harvest again produces four fruits. After this harvest, the plant permanently dies, leaving a brown plant that can be removed.

Nectar Bush Growth Cycle
Nectar bushes have 2 growth cycles, each yielding 250 drops of nectar. After the first growth cycle, the nectar bush withers; at this stage the bush can be removed or it can be revived by another player for an additional harvest. After this harvest, the plant permanently dies, leaving a brown plant that can be removed with an axe.

(Need a page for Nectar?) Nectar can never be directly collected or stored by the player. It goes automatically into the beehive on the beehive tree. However, the further the bush is from the beehive tree the longer it takes the bees to bring it to the beehive. Once 100 drops of nectar have been collected by the bees, one piece of honeycomb can be harvested.

Beehive Tree
The beehive tree is where the beehives honey bees live in are hung. The beehive tree is unlocked at Level 39 and costs 4,000 coins. The tree itself does not produce anything: bees produce honeycomb within the beehives hung in the tree. Up to three bees can be housed in a beehive.

Unlike other animal shelters additional beehive trees cannot be bought in the shop. Players must collect 4,000 drops of nectar to get a second beehive, 40,000 drops to get a third one and 400,000 drops to get the last one.

All the beehives are hung on the same unique tree and honeycomb must be collected from each beehive.

Appearance
In addition to beehive(s) the beehive tree also has a bee smoker tied around its trunk and a honey jar on the ground next to it. As the player gets more beehives the appearance of the tree changes:

Revivals
Players can either remove their withered tree / bush; or drop the "!" help sign next to it, which notifies other players that their farm needs help and also allows visiting players to revive the tree or bush.

If connected to Facebook, players can use the "megaphone" to let their friends know they need help in their farm.

The profile picture of the the visiting player, appears near the tree or bush they revived. The player needs to tap on this picture for the final growth cycle to start.

An envelope icon will also appear; if the player taps on this, it sends a thank you note to the visiting player who revived the tree / bush.

Only fruit trees and bushes and nectar bushes wither or die.

Removal of Trees or Bushes
To remove / cut down withered, dead plants or original trees, the player uses a saw for all fruit trees or large tree or an axe for a bush or small trees.

To remove decorative trees tap on the cardboard box to store it. Storing a decoration puts it back in the shop, and additional items of that type cannot be bought while the item is stored. Unlike other items decorations do no count towards barn storage.

Beehive trees can not be removed.

Experience Points
Harvesting and reviving fruit trees and bushes and nectar bushes gives players experience points; players who revive can also receive thank you notes which may contain a gift card.

Four experience points is also given for cutting down a tree or bush.
