Farmville 2 Guide

Pruning Shears are an important tool in FarmVille 2 for keeping your trees healthy and productive.
With the right pruning strategy you can improve crop quality, keep your farm clean and make harvesting easier.
This guide explains what Pruning Shears do, how they work and the best ways to use them on your farm.

Pruning Shears are a special tool used to prune your trees in FarmVille 2.
Pruning helps you:

• Keep trees healthy and visually clean.
• Remove old or unproductive parts.
• Prepare your farm layout and open space for better organization.

Even if pruning does not look as “important” as planting or watering, it has a big impact in the long run on how efficient and tidy your farm feels.

Using Pruning Shears is very simple:

• Select the tree you want to work on.
• Use Pruning Shears to remove branches or parts of the tree.
• The tree becomes cleaner and easier to harvest and manage.

Depending on the situation, pruning can:

• Help you see fruits more clearly.
• Make harvesting faster.
• Improve the overall look of your farm and make it less “crowded” with leaves and branches.

Pruning trees is not only cosmetic. It also has several practical benefits:

✔ Better visibility – You can see fruits and taps more easily, which speeds up harvesting.
✔ Cleaner layout – Trees take up visual space; pruning makes your farm look organized and less chaotic.
✔ Easier path planning – With cleaner trees and fewer branches blocking the view, you can plan where to place buildings, decorations and paths.
✔ Focus on productive trees – While pruning, you naturally notice which trees you use more often and which ones you might replace later.

Here are some good habits when using Pruning Shears:

1. Prune around busy areas
Trees near buildings, paths or the main harvesting areas should be pruned more often.
This keeps the screen clear when you tap on animals, fields or machines.

2. Prune high-yield trees
Focus on trees that you harvest frequently (apples, lemons, etc.).
The easier it is to see the fruits, the faster you can collect them and move on.

3. Use pruning as part of a “farm clean-up” session
Every now and then, spend a few minutes cleaning decorations, moving items and pruning trees all together.
This keeps your farm in top shape and ready for future expansions.

4. Combine with tree placement
If a tree always feels “in the way”, prune it and then consider moving it slightly to open space for buildings or paths.

To get the most from Pruning Shears, think of them as a tool for farm design:

✔ Group trees by type (apples together, lemons together, etc.) and prune them so each group is easy to tap.
✔ Keep trees slightly away from buildings to prevent overlapping graphics and mis-taps.
✔ Create “lanes” or clear lines between tree rows and fields, pruning anything that blocks your view.
✔ Use pruning when you prepare your farm for screenshots or when you want it to look especially neat.

✖ Ignoring trees completely and letting them cover half of the screen.
✖ Placing too many trees close together without pruning them, making harvesting slow and confusing.
✖ Forgetting to prune new trees after you plant them in busy areas.
✖ Focusing only on crops and animals and never spending time on the visual organization of your farm.

A small amount of pruning regularly keeps your farm efficient and pleasant to play on.

• Use Pruning Shears when you feel your farm is “too full” of leaves and branches.
• Combine pruning with moving trees and decorations to redesign your layout.
• Focus on your most used trees first to make daily play faster and more enjoyable.

Good pruning turns your farm into a clean, efficient and beautiful place to play every day.

Speed-Grow is one of the most powerful farming boosts in FarmVille 2.
It helps you grow crops faster, finish orders on time and save a lot of waiting time.
This guide explains exactly what Speed-Grow does, how it works, the best moments to use it and how to combine it with other boosts.

Speed-Grow is a special consumable that reduces the growing time of your crops.
Depending on the version and event, it can:

• Make crops grow instantly, or
• Cut the remaining time by a big percentage.

It is especially useful for long-time crops and for situations where you need to harvest quickly for quests, orders or events.

Using Speed-Grow is very simple:

• Plant your crops as usual and water them.
• When they are growing, tap on the field and select Speed-Grow if available.
• The growing time is reduced or completed instantly, depending on the type of Speed-Grow.
• You can then harvest immediately and replant again if you want.

Speed-Grow does not change the quantity of crops, but it lets you harvest more often in the same amount of real time.

There are several ways to obtain Speed-Grow in FarmVille 2 (they can change with time and events):

✔ Rewards from temporary events and quests.
✔ Prizes from the Prize Wheel or special mini-games.
✔ Included in special bundles and promotional offers.
✔ Sometimes given as free gifts in community events or inbox rewards.

Because Speed-Grow is not very common, it is better to collect it and use it only in the right moments.

To get real value from Speed-Grow, use it in situations where time really matters:

1. Long-Time Crops
Use Speed-Grow on crops that take many hours to grow.
Skipping 1–2 hours is not a big deal, but skipping 12–24 hours makes a huge difference.

2. Event Crops
During limited-time events, you often need large amounts of a specific crop.
Speed-Grow helps you complete event tasks faster and avoid missing rewards.

3. Orders Board & Marie’s Board
When you are close to finishing a big order and only need one more harvest, Speed-Grow can instantly complete it.

4. Crafting Chains
Some recipes require many basic crops. Speed-Grow allows you to refill your stock quickly and keep your Workshop and Kitchen running.

Here are some strategy tips to use Speed-Grow like a pro:

✔ Combine Speed-Grow with Fertilizer
Fertilizer increases the number of crops you get from each plot.
If you fertilize and then use Speed-Grow, you get more items in less time.

✔ Use it when your storage is ready
Before using Speed-Grow, make sure your barn and silo have enough space.
There is no reason to grow crops instantly if your storage is already full.

✔ Plan around your playtime
Use Speed-Grow when you know you can stay online for a while.
That way you can harvest, replant and maybe even use another boost.

✔ Focus on high-value crops
Use Speed-Grow on crops used for expensive recipes or rare orders.
This turns your boost into extra coins and XP instead of just basic stock.

✖ Using Speed-Grow on very cheap, low-value crops with short timers.
✖ Spending it when you are about to go offline and cannot replant or harvest again.
✖ Wasting it on small groups of fields instead of a full field of crops.
✖ Using it when your storage is almost full.

Remember: Speed-Grow is a premium boost. Treat it like something special, not like normal Water.
