Do ancient seed and rare seed plants die in winter?

[Darth Mark]

Do ancient seed and rare seed plants die in winter or does the plant survive but just not grow?

[ladyshel]

Yes, they die. Rare seeds only grow in the fall, and Ancient seeds are alive in the Spring, Summer and Fall.

Yes the ancient fruit will died when winter and wont grow up back, i made some simple guide for Ancient Seed you can see my guide.

[cf.barbossa]

Outdoors, only trees survive winter (oak, maple, pine as well as orchard trees), they even continue growing. Everything else will be gone, there are no perennials.

There are ways around this general rule (on my farm, some ancient fruit bushes are at leat 3 years old). If you don't know what that's supposed to mean, don't worry. Save those valuable ancient seeds for later.

Remember not to plant any new seeds outside in the fall unless you use fertilizer on them. It takes a full month for them to grow without Speed-Gro or Deluxe Speed-Gro and they won't have time to produce before they die.

Edit: fertilizer type clarity.

Do you mean Speed Grow? I don't think fertilizer affects growth speed?

it takes 24 days to grow, just plant it before day 4 and you will be fine.

Yes, Speed-gro. I should have been more specific.

They're techinically both fertilizers in the agricultural sense being that they add nutrients to soil improve plant growth rather than a soil ammendment which improves the mechanical properties of the soil.

Those take 24 days to grow so you've got to get them in the ground before the 3rd of fall. If you use Deluxe Speed-Gro you have until the 7th.

As growing the rare seed takes very long anyway, even with Deluxe Speen-Gro and the Agriculturist profession, and gives only one fruit, I recommend using Deluxe Quality fertilizer instead in order to maximize potential gain.

Am I the only one who uses the Greenhouse for ancient seeds?

I agree; that's the best way maximize rare seed profits. Using the speed boost over the quality boost is only viable in the rare event that a seed comes up in the traveling cart during the first week of fall.

In my opinion it is more beneficial to get a confimed 2k return with a lower chance of an additional 1.5k over three weeks than it is to get a tripled chance of additional 1.5k over an entire year of waiting.

The greenhouse is the ideal place to grow them, but there's a really good chance to get a rare seed before having a greenhouse available.

I forgot the role of the faming skill in determining crop quality (got too used to endgame play). You are right, at least for early to mid-game.

The ancient seed was among the first artifacts I found, in spring, year 1. I didn't buy a rare seed that early, beacuse I was too short on money.

Btw- I consider the greenhouse to be content and I think references to it should be hidden. I have a feeling the OP might not have unlocked it yet.
