How far apart do trees need to be in Animal Crossing?

In Animal Crossing (New Horizons/Leaf), trees need one empty space on all four sides (up, down, left, right) to grow from sapling to full tree, meaning you can plant them in a grid with a single empty square between each trunk, like T X T X T (T=Tree, X=Empty Space). However, for initial planting and growth, you should leave two spaces (a full clear block) around each sapling to avoid wilting, or you can plant them closer and use a fruit to dig up and transplant mature trees into a dense orchard.

Do money trees in Animal Crossing keep growing money?

No, money trees in Animal Crossing only grow money once; after you shake the Bells off, they turn into regular hardwood trees and won't produce more money, so players often create "money orchards" by digging them up and replanting new money tree sprouts daily. You get Bells by burying a bag of Bells in a glowing spot on your island, and once the tree is mature and harvested, it becomes a normal tree, like those that grow fruit or just wood.
