The recent Zen Event update in Grow a Garden introduces an exciting new plant seed inspired by Japanese aesthetics: the Maple Apple. This Prismatic-tier seed is exclusively available through the Zen Seed Pack, making it a must-have for dedicated players. In this guide, we’ll dive into how to acquire the Maple Apple seed, its impressive stats, and its value in the game.
As an experienced player of Grow a Garden, I’ve seen how each update can dramatically impact gameplay, and the introduction of the Maple Apple is no exception.
1. How to Obtain the Maple Apple Seed in Grow a Garden
The Maple Apple seed can be procured in two main ways. Here’s a breakdown of the steps to secure this unique seed:
- Collect Tranquil mutation plants from your garden. You can find these from the Zen Aura event, Tranquil pets, or the Tanchozuru pet.
- Head to the Zen Event hub and interact with the Zen Shop NPC.
- Trade your Tranquil fruits to earn Chi. Alternatively, cultivate the Zen Tree to acquire Chi.
- Return to the NPC, select the first option to access the Zen Shop, and purchase a Zen Seed Pack for 12 Chi.
It’s important to note that the Maple Apple seed can only be found in the Zen Seed Pack. Additionally, if you’re upgrading your Zen Tree, you may unlock extra seed packs at each stage. However, since the Maple Apple is a Prismatic rarity, the likelihood of finding it is only 0.5%. This means you’ll need to open many Zen Seed Packs to eventually secure a Maple Apple plant.
Alternatively, you can purchase a premium Zen Seed Pack from the in-game shop, which costs 199 Robux. While it has the same drop rate, buying in bundles offers better chances. For instance, for 1,699 Robux, you can get 10 exotic Zen Seed Packs, which feature an increased 8% chance of obtaining Maple Apple seeds.

While the Maple Apple may not dethrone the legendary Bone Blossom from its top spot, it certainly holds its ground, especially with the Candy Blossom and Bone Blossom no longer obtainable. However, this plant is known to require a bit more attention. You might want to employ sprinklers or various pets in Grow a Garden to expedite growth. Even then, growing a Maple Apple takes more time compared to other plants.
The patience required, however, is well rewarded. The Maple Apple sells at an impressive average of 80,000 Sheckles, making it worthwhile to equip yourself with the right gear to optimize your farming. Be prepared for GAG weather events to ensure your crop is at its best!
