So how long does fruit take? Getting a bit tired of waiting for it to appear in player stands at a more palatable price :(

Im going to take a big guess and say the trees might need to go through a few seasons before they are mature. In RL (and I know this is never a good bases to apply to Salem but still) It takes three years before a sapling starts to produce fruit. It is possible that the Devs have made it that fruit trees need to go through 3 Everblooms before they are fully grown and able to fruit.

which means one and a half month. The people in the fruit collaboration must be fruitrated :lol:

Saplings can still give fruits even in the 2nd year, altough it's just enough to pretty much get an impression of what the fruit will taste like in the future, not an actual harvest.
Also it very much depends on what kind of fruit too.

All our trees are planted - but they sure aren't growing. Everyone else in the same boat?

I now know (to my eternal embarrassment) that fruit will go rotten over time - and is then no longer plant-able. I might be wrong, but I always thought rotten fruit could still release its seeds and be planted. Pretty sure that's how it works in nature right ? That would certainly hold true for apples at least.

Yes but unlike that, allowing rotten fruit to be planted (but not eaten) would be a comparatively easy fix AND realistic. Double win.

The being eaten and pooped out is most often largely for the sake of dispersal and if a fruit rots on the ground the seeds will still be viable. It depends on the rot conditions and the seed, really... if left shut up in some box, the conditions may suck enough to kill the seed. Anyway, shut up lest the devs decide to make more things rot.
