How to Get the Kiwi Crop in Grow a Garden
In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about the Kiwi: its appearance, classification, how to obtain its seeds, and tips for making the most of it.
What is the Kiwi Crop
The Kiwi stands out as one of the newest mythical crops in Grow a Garden. Unlike basic plants, mythical crops not only look visually distinct but also provide multiple harvests, making them excellent for long-term yield and trading opportunities.
Appearance
The Kiwi's design is simple yet striking. It resembles a lighter-colored version of the Cacao crop, but with one key difference: a lime-green leaf rests on top, tilted at a slant. This subtle addition makes the crop instantly recognizable in your garden, and its brighter tones give it a refreshing, summer feel.
Classification
The Kiwi belongs to several important categories:
Woody: Reflecting its durable trunk and sturdy growth pattern.
Summer: Making it a seasonal favorite, often linked to summer-exclusive events.
Sour: Adding variety to fruit flavor classifications in the game.
Fruit: Cementing it as a core collectible for fruit-themed gardens.
This combination of traits not only diversifies your crop collection but also makes the Kiwi useful for players who enjoy themed layouts or want to experiment with mutation systems tied to plant types.
How to Obtain Kiwi Seeds
Originally, Kiwi seeds were available through the Seed Shop, but with the introduction of event-based merchants, their primary source has shifted. Here's the full breakdown of how to get your hands on them:
1. Seed Shop (Legacy Method)
Before the Summer Harvest Event update, Kiwi seeds had a 2.5% chance (1 in 40) of appearing in the regular Seed Shop. If found, you could purchase them for:
10,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 529 Robux
While this method is no longer the most common, some players may still encounter Kiwi seeds here during special rotations or events.
2. Summer Traveling Merchant (Current Method)
Now, the most reliable way to obtain Kiwi seeds is through the Summer Traveling Merchant, who roams during the seasonal event. Kiwi seeds maintain the same 2.5% appearance rate (1 in 40) in the merchant's inventory. When available, they cost:
10,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 529 Robux
Given the rarity, patience is key. The Traveling Merchant's stock rotates, so consistent checking is required to secure your seed before the event ends.
Farming Tips for Kiwi Success
If you manage to obtain a Kiwi seed, you'll want to maximize its potential. Here are some tips to get the most out of your new mythical crop:
Save Sheckles in Advance: Since Kiwi seeds cost 10,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles, budget carefully before the Traveling Merchant arrives. Selling surplus harvests or other rare items can help you save up.
Check Merchants Regularly: With only a 2.5% chance of appearing, Kiwi seeds are rare. Don't skip checking the Traveling Merchant's inventory whenever they're in town.
Protect from Garden Threats: While the Kiwi isn't as commonly targeted as Divine crops, it's still a valuable plant. Keep your defenses strong to avoid losing a harvest.
Trade Strategically: If you manage to obtain multiple Kiwi seeds, consider trading them. Because mythical crops are high-demand, you can often negotiate for other rare Grow a Garden Items or even increase your wealth in Grow a Garden Sheckles.
Plan Garden Layouts: Place your Kiwi in an area where you can easily keep track of its multi-harvest cycle. Losing track could mean missing valuable yields.
Final Thoughts
The Kiwi crop is more than just another addition to the Summer Harvest Event, it's a mythical crop that offers utility, aesthetic charm, and economic value. Whether you're hunting for it to complete your collection of Grow a Garden Items, saving up Grow a Garden Sheckles to purchase it, or planning to trade it for other rare crops, the Kiwi is well worth the effort.
Its rarity, multi-harvest yield, and unique look make it one of the standout plants of the event. If you're serious about building a legendary garden, securing a Kiwi should be at the top of your priorities this season.
