Moonlit Fruit are a new type of mutation added to Grow a Garden as part of the Lunar Glow update.

This update also marks the beginning of the Lunar Glow event and, if you want to earn all of its rewards, you'll want to be growing some Moonlit Fruit. Yet, like with all of the mutations in Grow a Garden, this involves meeting a special condition.

So let's take a look at how to get Moonlit Fruit in Grow a Garden.

Moonlit is a mutation your fruit can get at night in Grow a Garden. Moonlit Fruit has a purple shiny and a dark purple colour. You may log in when night has fallen to discover that some of your fruit has already become Moonlit or watch as fruit grown during the night gains this mutation. It's also important to note that fruits which already have a mutation, such as Golden, can also become Moonlit.

When it comes to farming Moonlit Fruit, we've found it's best to focus on crops which grow quickly such as tomatoes and raspberries. Tomatoes are especially useful for new players as the seeds are cheap and they grow very quickly. More fruit can become Moonlit as the night continues too, so it's worth checking on your garden multiple times.

You can also ensure you have six Moonlit Fruit by the end of the night by planting the Night Staff in your garden. The Night Staff is a reward from the Lunar Glow event, so you will need to grow a good number of Moonlit Fruits before you obtain this item.

Moonlit Fruit can be given to the Wise Old Owl in exchange for Lunar Points and rewards. These Lunar Points can then be exchanged for additional rewards, such as the Night Staff.

The amount of points you receive depends on the rarity of the fruit
