Should you water trees in ACNH?

No, you do not need to water trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons; they grow on their own in about three days, but they won't grow if planted too close to other trees, buildings, or water, and only flowers need watering for hybridization or extra crops.

What's the point of cutting down trees in Animal Crossing?

Players cut down trees in Animal Crossing primarily to gather essential crafting materials (wood, branches), clear space for island design, collect fruit/bells/furniture, or get specific bugs that spawn on stumps, while often replanting or moving trees for better layouts. It's a core mechanic for island customization, especially in New Horizons, allowing for a fresh start or organized orchards, but remember trees need to be replanted or they won't regrow on your home island.
