How to Get Maple Apple Seed in Grow a Garden
The Maple Apple seed is only available through the Zen Seed Pack, which can be acquired in two main ways:
- Collect Tranquil Mutation Plants:
Grow and harvest plants with the Tranquil mutation from your garden. These can be obtained via the Zen Aura event, Tranquil pets, or the Tanchozuru pet. - Exchange Tranquil Fruits for Chi:
Head to the Zen Event hub and interact with the Zen Shop NPC. Trade your collected Tranquil fruits to get Chi points. Alternatively, you can grow and upgrade the Zen Tree to earn Chi. Check out how to get more Chi in Grow a Garden Guide. - Buy Zen Seed Packs:
Use your Chi to purchase Zen Seed Packs from the Zen Shop NPC for 12 Chi each. Maple Apple seeds drop from these packs at a very low chance of 0.5% because of their Prismatic rarity.
Upgrading the Zen Tree also rewards you with Zen Seed Packs after reaching certain stages, giving more chances to get the Maple Apple seed.
Premium Zen Seed Packs and Increased Drop Rates
If you want to improve your chances, you can buy the premium Zen Seed Packs in the in-game shop:
- Single Premium Pack: Costs 199 Robux with the same 0.5% drop rate.
- Bundle of 10 Packs: Costs 1,699 Robux and increases the drop chance to 8% for the Maple Apple seed.
These premium packs offer better odds, but keep in mind the cost if you plan to go this route.
Maple Apple Sell Value in Grow a Garden
- Rarity: Prismatic
- Drop Rate: 0.5% (normal packs)
- Average Sale Value: About 80,000 Sheckles
While the Maple Apple isn’t quite as valuable as the top-tier Bone Blossom, it’s still a strong contender—especially since other popular seeds like Candy Blossom and Bone Blossom are no longer obtainable.
Growing Tips for Maple Apple
Maple Apple takes more time to grow compared to many other plants in the game. You can speed up the growth by using sprinklers or certain Grow a Garden pets that boost growth speed. Patience is key here, but the high sale value makes it worth the effort. Additionally, timing your harvest during special Grow a Garden weather events can maximize your profits.
The Maple Apple is a rare and valuable plant introduced in the Zen update that adds fresh excitement for players seeking exclusive crops. Obtaining it requires dedication to farming Tranquil fruits and opening many Zen Seed Packs, or investing Robux into premium packs for better chances.
