How do I harvest from planted trees?

EDIT: Trees finally produced. I think I ran into a bug, because it actually took four timer cycles before they did so.

I can't figure this out.

I have some of each type of tree [apricot, crystella, nitre], all three are fully matured, it's currently Fall, and they don't seem to be producing anything at all.

The timer will be close to finishing, so I'll run off ot do something else, only to come back and find it seems to have reset and is now counting down for a few more days. I literally stood and watched one timer roll over and just go back to another three day countdown.

The small planter boxes all give me an option to harvest when I come back to them, but trees aren't doing that at all.

My only options seem to be rip the root out [which only gets me plant fiber], pick up the planter box tree and all, or check the status, which just shows the endlessly counting down and resetting timers.

Swining my axe at them does nothing, I can't hit them barehanded or with any tools. I'm at a bit of a loss here about what the hell I'm supposed to be doing with the planted fruit trees exactly to get anything from them.

I have no idea how to get the crops from planted trees. I can see that there are some hanging from the branches on some of them, the timers have indeed run down [more than once on some of them], but I can't for the life of me figure out how to harvest anything but plant fibers from trees in planter boxes.

There are two timers for trees: the first one is the time it takes for your tree to be fully grown. The second is the time until the next harvest.
Once a tree is ready to be harvested it will shine like a gathering spot and pressing the interaction button will harvest it.

Yeah, I just had a couple finally produce something.

I think I ran into a bug, because it actually took four timer cycles before it happened. Seems to have impacted all of my trees and I'm not sure what caused it.

They were all planted at the same time, and I read the seed instructions so I was expecting two timers.

The first one ran down and the trees grew to maturity. Then the second timer ran down, and they didn't produce anything. Then it happened again and I started wondering if maybe I was doing something wrong. Finally, the fourth timer cycle ran down and they produced.

Not sure what the deal is.

The only thing I can think of is maybe because I tend to pass out instead of going to bed. There doesn't seem to be any penalty for that currently, so I've been using it to my advantage to get more done in a day.

Glad I saw this same post. Was going crazy thinking I was missing my harvest opportunity or something, as the timer has reset three times already, and I'm seeing nothing from any of my 4 trees (one of each type).

It definitely seems that the timer when you first plant a tree, will count down the time until the next growth cycle. I had to wait 2 or 3 countdowns until I could harvest my trees. Now they can be harvested every time the timer counts down, because the tree is fully grown!

I'm glad I'm not the only one though, that initially worried that I was missing the opportunity to harvest them!
