Grow a Garden: How to Get the Legendary Green Apple
Sep-18-2025 PST
This guide explains what the Green Apple looks like, how its seeds can be obtained, and the different in-game methods.
What Is the Green Apple
The Green Apple functions similarly to the standard Apple crop but with a distinct twist.
Seed: The Green Apple seed appears as a solid lime-colored orb, instantly recognizable in your inventory.
Tree: While the normal Apple tree has a pointed-leaf design, the Green Apple tree grows taller and has more of a bush-like appearance, giving your garden layout more variety.
Produce: As expected, the fruit is visually similar to the red Apple but is a bright, vibrant green instead.
Because it's a multi-harvest crop, planting a Green Apple seed means you'll benefit from repeated yields over time, making it one of the most efficient Legendary plants to own.
Previous Availability of Green Apple Seeds
In earlier versions of the game, Green Apple seeds were most commonly found at the Seed Shop. Players had a:
5% (1 in 20) chance of seeing a Green Apple seed in stock.
Purchase price of 3,500 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 399 Robux.
For many, this was the easiest way to secure the seed, though it often meant saving up large amounts of Sheckles or checking the shop frequently to catch the rare rotation.
Current Ways to Obtain Green Apple Seeds
Although the Seed Shop option has been retired, the Green Apple seed is still very much obtainable through several in-game systems. Here are all the confirmed ways to get your hands on one:
1. Summer Traveling Merchant
The Traveling Merchant who appears during the summer season can stock the Green Apple seed. As with the Seed Shop, the odds remain slim:
5% chance of appearing in stock.
Costs 3,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 399 Robux.
The reduced price in Sheckles makes the Traveling Merchant an attractive option, provided you're willing to check back each time he arrives.
2. Lucky Harvests
Occasionally, when harvesting crops, you may trigger a Lucky Harvest event. This special mechanic can reward you with rare seeds, including the Green Apple. While not guaranteed, Lucky Harvests make even ordinary farming sessions more exciting.
3. Red Fox Encounters
Red Foxes in the game sometimes "steal" crops from your garden. If you catch them or trigger the right conditions, they may drop rare items in return, including Green Apple seeds.
4. Snails
Snails provide a quirky method of seed acquisition. Upon harvesting them, there's a chance they'll yield a Green Apple seed. It's a low-probability event, but worth keeping in mind if you're regularly tending snails in your garden.
5. Dogs (Shiba Inu and Golden Lab)
Certain pets, like the Shiba Inu or Golden Lab, have the ability to occasionally dig up seeds. Rarely, these loyal companions might surprise you by unearthing a Green Apple seed while accompanying you in your garden.
Farming Tips for Green Apple Success
If you're planning to target the Green Apple specifically, here are some tips:
Save Up Sheckles Early – Since the Traveling Merchant price is 3,000, make sure you always have a cushion of Grow a Garden Sheckles ready. You don't want to miss out if the Green Apple finally rotates into stock.
Use Pets Wisely – Keep Shiba Inu or Golden Lab companions active in your garden for more chances at rare seed digs.
Diversify Farming Activities – Harvest across multiple crops and maintain snails to maximize your odds of Lucky Harvests and bonus seed drops.
Check Merchants Regularly – Consistency is key. Players who check every appearance of the Summer Traveling Merchant have the best chance at scoring a Green Apple.
Final Thoughts
The Green Apple is one of the most sought-after Legendary crops in Grow a Garden. With its lime-green seed, tall bush-like tree, and valuable multi-harvest yields, it's a cornerstone for both collectors and traders alike.
