Perfect trees yield 3 perfect fruits up to 5-7 times. On the last shake, they will lose their leaves and will not regrow or bear any further fruit unless replanted. Additionally, on of the final batch, one of the perfect fruits will be a rotten fruit. The "dead" tree can be cut down to be replaced. Rotten fruits have a disposal fee of 500 bells, and if one is planted, it will create a dead sapling. However, they can be fed to a villager wanting fruit of any kind, although it will cause them to act disgusted (and will later forget about it). If a player leaves a rotten fruit on the ground, ants will regularly come onto it, and are easily caught.
