How to Get Pine Cones in Animal Crossing New Horizons

You can get pine cones in Animal Crossing New Horizons by shaking coniferous (pine trees) during the Fall months. In the northern hemisphere this is from September to November. In the southern hemisphere its from March to May.

Shake any pine tree and you’ll have a chance of it dropping a pine cone. Not every tree will drop one, however, so make sure to shake every one in your island multiple times each day.

How to Get Acorns in Animal Crossing New Horizons

To get acorns in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you simply have to shake deciduous trees. These are the trees that are more rounded in shape, rather than the pointed, triangular-shaped pine trees.

Again, acorns aren’t always guaranteed to drop from these trees when you shake them. They’re an uncommon drop so keep shaking every last tree that you see.
