Grow a Garden: Best Fruit Tier List
Updated for August 11, 2025

While flowers and bugs are great, a well-managed orchard is the key to unlocking massive profits in "Grow a Garden." But with limited space, which fruits give you the best return on your investment? It's not just about sell price—it's about how much money you make per minute.
We've crunched the numbers on every fruit in the game to create the ultimate tier list. This guide will show you exactly what to plant to maximize your earnings and grow your garden faster than ever.
Understanding the Fruit Tiers
We rank all fruits based on their **profit per minute**, which is the single most important metric for efficiency. The tiers are:
- S-Tier: The undisputed kings of the orchard. These fruits offer the highest profit per minute and should be your top priority.
- A-Tier: Excellent, highly profitable fruits that are fantastic investments.
- B-Tier: Solid and reliable choices for filling out your garden.
- C-Tier & D-Tier: Starter fruits. They are fine when you're beginning but should be replaced as you unlock better options.

This chart, created with our Free Pie Chart Maker, shows that only a small percentage of fruits reach the coveted S-Tier.
S-Tier Fruit (The #1 Priority)
There is one fruit that stands head and shoulders above the rest for pure, efficient profit.
Starfruit: With the highest profit per minute in the game, the Starfruit is the ultimate goal for any serious gardener. Its combination of high sell price and reasonable growth time makes it an economic powerhouse.
A-Tier Fruits (Highly Profitable)
These fruits are fantastic choices and will form the core of any high-yield orchard. The difference between the tiers is made clear when visualized.

This ranked chart was made instantly with our Horizontal Bar Chart Maker to clearly show the ranking of each fruit.
- Dragon Fruit: A close second to the Starfruit, offering incredible returns.
- Pineapple: A reliable and highly profitable fruit that is easier to unlock than the top-tier options.
B-Tier and Below
Fruits like Watermelons and Grapes are solid B-Tier choices that will serve you well. The C and D-Tier fruits, such as Apples and Strawberries, are what you start with. They are useful early on, but your goal should always be to replace them with higher-tier fruits as you level up and expand your garden.
Conclusion
By focusing your efforts on planting S-Tier and A-Tier fruits, you can ensure your garden is a profit-generating machine. Use this tier list to guide your decisions and watch your in-game cash soar!
