How to Get Sugar Apple in Grow a Garden?
Method 1: Sam's Seed Shop (Primary Method)
The most common way to get Sugar Apple is through Sam's Seed Shop, but don't let "common" fool you - this is still incredibly challenging due to the astronomically low spawn rate.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Navigate to Sam's Seed Shop
- Click the "Seeds" button at the top of your screen for instant teleport
- Or walk to the shop located next to Steven's selling station
- The shop is at the end of the map if you prefer manual navigation
- Check for Sugar Apple Stock
- Look for the distinctive green-to-yellow gradient seed icon
- The seed will be labeled "Sugar Apple" with the 25M price tag
- If it's not there, don't panic - this is normal!
- Understanding the Stock System
- The shop refreshes exactly every 5 minutes real-time
- Sugar Apple has only a 0.01% to 0.03% chance to appear
- That's roughly 1 in 3,333 to 1 in 10,000 refreshes!
- All servers share the same stock rotation
- Purchase Strategy
- Have 25 million Sheckles ready at all times
- Click instantly when you see it - hesitation means missing out

Method 2: Direct Robux Purchase (Guaranteed Method)
If you're tired of the RNG lottery or simply value your time more than 819 Robux, this is your best bet.
How to Buy with Robux:
- Open Sam's Seed Shop interface
- Look for the Sugar Apple seed listing
- Click the Robux price option (819 R$)

Is it Worth the Robux? Let me break down the math:
- 819 Robux = approximately $10.24 USD
- Average time to find in shop: 20-50 hours of active checking
- Guaranteed profit from multi-harvest nature
- Can earn back investment in about 50-60 harvests
My verdict? If you have the Robux to spare, absolutely worth it!
