How to Unlock Ferntail in Grow a Garden: Complete Guide3 min read
The famous ferntail crop first became known at Grow a Garden’s Chubby Chipmunk event. It can be classified as both leafy and stalky, and gamers are able to harvest it more than once (multi-harvest).
Below is a step-by-step guide for obtaining Ferntail, along with details on its mutations, value, and acquisition speed tips. Want to spice up your garden? Check out this Spicy Plants List for the best fiery crops.
Understand the Chubby Chipmunk Event
The key process needed for unlocking Ferntail is the Chubby Chipmunk event. In this event, your pet Chubby Chipmunk is going to take fruits from your garden on a daily basis (at first, about every two minutes). It gains a little weight every time it eats, and it also causes an acorn to show up on the map.

Furthermore, you interact with Nuts, an NPC who allows you to contribute fruits. Nutty Fever, which is triggered when you collect enough fruit points, leads the Chubby Chipmunk to eat more quickly (every 30 seconds) for a brief period of time.
Its weight increase accelerates as a result.
Reach the 24.99 kg Milestone
In order to get the Ferntail seed, your Chubby Chipmunk needs to weigh 24.99 kg. Fruit consumption and reward levels will slowly bring you closer to this goal as the event goes on. The Ferntail seed becomes a weight milestone reward when the 24.99 kg threshold is reached. From the “Unclaimed Rewards” sign by the event booth, you need to claim it manually.
Claim the Seed and Start Growing
After claiming, you can plant Ferntail in your garden. Due to its multi-harvest nature, you are able to harvest it more than once after planting. Level up your farm help: grab rare companions from Buy Pets at MitchCactus and watch your yields soar.
Its average price is about 2,000 sheckles, whereas its lowest price is about 1,805 sheckles. With a massive yield probability of 0.25%, its typical weight ranges from 4.90 kg minimum to about 7.00 kg average.
Explore Mutations
Many changes for aesthetic or collector value are supported by Ferntail. These mutations include variants such as:
- Aurora: Soft bluish glow
- Bloom: Green leafy variant
- Eclipsed: Darker, shadowed tones
- Frozen: Icy texture
- Glimmering: Pink-white glow
- Verdant: Vivid green
- Oil: Slick black sheen
- Tranquil: Muted earthy tones
Mutations may boost the look of your garden and your collector rank, but they have no impact on the basic mechanisms for unlocking Ferntail in Grow a Garden.

Tips to Speed Up Your Progress
- To rush up weight gain during the bonus period, trigger Nutty Fever anytime you can by turning in 1,500 points worth of fruit.
- To stop the Chubby Chipmunk from eating your priceless crops, mark them as favorites.
- Make use of tools, pets, or boosts that increase the chipmunk’s rate of intake or decrease cooldowns.
You will be able to consistently get Ferntail during the Chubby Chipmunk event if you work hard, use Nutty Fever strategically, and take care of your garden well. Once you have it, you may look for mutation variants to get full collector experience and expand your crop range.
