Plant

In the Animal Crossing series of games, the town contains plants. The plants are very diverse, ranging from trees to weeds.

Trees
The trees are the main plant in a town. There are 10 different types of tree.

Weeds
The weeds are the small tufts of grass-like plant scattered over the town. Two weeds grow every day, and they spawn at 6 a.m. They should be pulled up with the (B) button.

Flowers
Flowers are the opposite of weeds - they look nice, attract bugs, and increase town beautification. Tom Nook will have some at his store.

Hybrids
Some flowers cannot be bought at Nook's store. These are hybrid flowers. They are vital in catching the peacock butterfly.

Rafflesia
The rafflesia is an indestructible plant that spawns in a town when there are too many weeds. The only way to get rid of it is to remove all weeds in the surrounding acre.

Grass
Approximately 75% or less of the town's ground is covered by grass. The grass turns to snow during Winter. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, a new feature was introduced. It is called grass deterioration. This records where the player has run, and depletes the grass there by a small amount. It can become game-breaking for some, as the town slowly moves towards desertification.
