Woody plants in gardening are plants that have hard stems with wood tissue, which gives them structural support. They include trees, shrubs, and many other plants that retain woody tissue above the ground year-round. In a garden, woody plants are often used for adding texture, structure, and shade, and they can serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. Specifically in the game "Grow a Garden," woody plants have a distinct meaning—they are a category of plants used to fuel the Beanstalk structure. Players collect and hand over woody plants to an NPC to help grow the Beanstalk and earn points and rewards. These plants are generally fruit-bearing or have woody characteristics. Examples include apples, avocados, coconuts, kiwis, mangoes, peaches, and a variety of other fruit-like plants, each contributing different point values in the game. The focus is on collecting these plants, which are considered woody due to their hard stems and woodiness, to progress in the Beanstalk event. In real-world gardening, woody plants depend on proper soil and care and are often started from nursery plants or seeds. They can take up space but provide shade and can be pruned regularly to promote healthy growth, especially for fruit-producing types. Some woody plants common in gardens include dogwoods, pines, hawthorns, and several shrubs and small trees. In summary:
- Woody plants are plants with hard, woody stems (trees, shrubs, etc.).
- In gardening, they add shade, texture, and structure.
- In the game "Grow a Garden," woody plants are special collectible fruit/wood-like plants used to fuel the Beanstalk event.
- Examples of woody plants include fruit trees like apple, avocado, mango, and others both in real life and the game.
