Miniature Tree glitch

The Miniature tree glitch is a glitch found in, where upon for no apparent reason a tree would stop growing. It has been hypothesised that this is caused by a building growing or expanding to a point where there is no gap between said building and a tree. This can be further established by the fact that trees planted with no space between them and a building will wilt. It seems that there is no 'wilted' stage for stages 2, 3 and 4 of tree growth, causing the tree to merely stop growing instead of dying. The disadvantage of this glitch is that it prevents fruit growth on said tree, potentially wasting the player 1,500 Bells every four days. Miniature trees count towards perfect town status, just as normal trees do.

The glitch is best observed near Nook's store.
