All New Seeds in Grow a Garden Chubby Chipmunk Update (2026)

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the new Chubby Chipmunk update in Grow a Garden, and honestly, these new seeds might be some of the best additions we’ve seen in 2026! After spending countless hours grinding through the event and testing every single new seed, I’m excited to share everything you need to know about these nutty new additions to your farming arsenal.

The Fall season has truly transformed our gardens with this update, and if you’re like me, you’ve probably been wondering which seeds are actually worth your time and Sheckles. From acorns that sell for a whopping 150,000 Sheckles to persimmons that add beautiful orange pops to your plots, the Chubby Chipmunk update delivers six exclusive seeds that perfectly capture the autumn vibes. Let me walk you through exactly how to get each one, their sale prices, and which seeds will maximize your profits!

All New Seeds in Grow a Garden Chubby Chipmunk Update

The Chubby Chipmunk update introduces six brand-new seeds that can only be obtained during this limited-time event. These seeds come from two distinct sources: the main event reward track (by growing your Chubby Chipmunk’s weight) and the special Nutty Chests. Here’s the complete breakdown:

Seed Name	Obtainment Method	Harvest Type	Average Sale Price
Acorn Squash	Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track	Multiple	31,000 Sheckles
Ferntail	Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track	Multiple	120,000 Sheckles
Pecan	Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track	Multiple	140,000 Sheckles
Hazelnut	Nutty Chest	Multiple	22,500 Sheckles
Persimmon	Nutty Chest	Multiple	45,000 Sheckles
Acorn	Nutty Chest	Multiple	150,000 Sheckles

Quick Takeaway: The Acorn seed offers the highest base value at 150,000 Sheckles per harvest, making it the most profitable seed in this update. However, all six seeds feature multiple-harvest mechanics, meaning they’ll continue producing fruits indefinitely – perfect for long-term profit generation!

How to Get Seeds from the Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track?

The first method to unlock these exclusive seeds is through the event’s main progression system. I’ve found this to be the most reliable way to guarantee you get specific seeds, especially the high-value Pecan.

Growing Your Chubby Chipmunk’s Weight

When you first enter the event island (located in the center of the map), you’ll receive a free Chubby Chipmunk pet. This adorable little critter is the key to unlocking three of the six new seeds. Here’s exactly how the system works:

The Chubby Chipmunk gains weight through two primary methods:

1. Passive Eating: Every 4-5 minutes, your Chubby Chipmunk automatically eats a fruit from your garden and gains approximately 0.01 KG of weight. The pet prioritizes regular fruits and ignores favorited or single-harvest fruits, so you don’t have to worry about it munching your precious rare crops.
2. Active Feeding: You can manually feed fruits to your Chubby Chipmunk for a 15% base chance to gain 0.01 KG. Here’s where it gets interesting – each mutation on the fruit you feed increases this chance by an additional 3.5%! This means feeding mutated fruits dramatically speeds up weight gain.

Reward Track Seeds and Milestones

As your Chubby Chipmunk reaches specific weight milestones, you’ll unlock rewards from the event NPC. The three seeds available through this method are:

• Acorn Squash (Early Reward) – Unlocked at lower weight milestones around 1-2 KG
• Ferntail (Mid Reward) – Unlocked at medium weight milestones around 4-6 KG
• Pecan (Final Reward) – The last reward on the track, requiring maximum chipmunk weight

Pro Strategy: I recommend focusing on feeding your Chubby Chipmunk high-mutation fruits during the first few days of the event. Mutations can multiply your crop values significantly, and the same principle applies to weight gain rates!

Activating Nutty Fever for Faster Progress

There’s also a special mechanic called “Nutty Fever” that you can trigger by submitting fruits to the event NPC. When activated, Nutty Fever makes your Chubby Chipmunk eat fruits much faster, accelerating weight gain considerably. I noticed my chipmunk consuming fruits every 2-3 minutes instead of the usual 4-5 minutes during Nutty Fever, which almost doubles your progression speed.

How to Get Seeds from Nutty Chests?

The second method for obtaining new seeds is through Nutty Chests – special event containers that can drop three exclusive seeds not available through the reward track.

Regular Nutty Chests

Nutty Chests are obtained by reaching specific weight milestones with your Chubby Chipmunk. I received my first Nutty Chest when my chipmunk hit 2 KG, and additional chests dropped at higher weights throughout my progression.

Each Nutty Chest contains both pets and seeds with varying rarity percentages:

Seeds from Nutty Chests:

• Hazelnut (Common drop rate)
• Persimmon (Uncommon drop rate)
• Acorn (Rare – only 1% drop rate!)

The Acorn seed being locked behind that brutal 1% drop rate means you’ll need to open multiple chests to guarantee getting one. I personally opened seven Nutty Chests before finally getting my first Acorn seed, so don’t get discouraged if it takes several attempts.

Exotic Nutty Chests (Premium Option)

For players willing to spend Robux, there’s also an Exotic Nutty Chest variant that offers better drop rates and is said to guarantee higher rarity items. Based on previous event patterns with Exotic eggs and chests, these premium versions typically cost:

• 1 Exotic Nutty Chest: 199 Robux
• 3 Exotic Nutty Chests: 575 Robux
• 10 Exotic Nutty Chests: 1,699 Robux

The bulk packages offer better value per chest if you’re planning to purchase multiple. However, I’ve been able to obtain all six seeds as a free-to-play player through dedicated grinding, so Robux purchases are entirely optional.

Acorns from Chipmunk Drops

There’s one more way to get rewards that I discovered while farming: your Chubby Chipmunk occasionally drops Acorns on the ground after eating fruits. These aren’t the Acorn seeds – they’re collectible items that grant random rewards when picked up, including potential seeds, Sheckles, or other event items.

I made it a habit to check my garden every few minutes to collect these Acorn drops. While they won’t directly give you the six main seeds, they provide supplementary rewards that help with overall event progression.

Best Seeds from the Chubby Chipmunk Update

Now that we’ve covered how to obtain every seed, let’s talk about which ones are actually worth prioritizing. I’ve tested all six seeds extensively across different garden setups, and here are my definitive rankings based on profit potential and practical value.

#1 Best: Acorn (150,000 Sheckles)

Why it’s the best: The Acorn seed absolutely dominates as the highest-value crop in this entire update. At 150,000 Sheckles per harvest with multiple-harvest mechanics, these bad boys will print money for your garden indefinitely.

Beyond the incredible sale price, Acorns perfectly match the fall aesthetic that the update delivers. Their brown, woody appearance blends beautifully with autumn-themed decorations, making them both profitable and visually appealing.

The main challenge is that 1% drop rate from Nutty Chests. You’ll need to dedicate serious time to growing your Chubby Chipmunk’s weight to open enough chests for consistent Acorn seeds. However, once you have even one Acorn planted, the investment pays for itself within just a few harvests.

Mutation Potential: When you stack mutations like Celestial (120x) or Cosmic (240x) on Acorns, individual harvests can reach hundreds of millions of Sheckles. I sold a Cosmic + Golden + Aurora Acorn for 1.08 billion Sheckles!

#2 Best: Pecan (140,000 Sheckles)

Why it’s great: Pecans rank second only to Acorns in base value, offering 140,000 Sheckles per harvest. What makes Pecans particularly attractive is their guaranteed availability – they’re the final reward on the Chubby Chipmunk progression track.

Unlike the RNG-dependent Acorn, every player who completes the event will obtain Pecan seeds. This reliability makes Pecans the most accessible high-value seed in the update. The multiple-harvest system means your single Pecan plant will keep producing these premium nuts for as long as you maintain your garden.

From an aesthetic standpoint, Pecans add beautiful earthy tones and complement other fall crops like pumpkins and maple-themed plants. I’ve built an entire “autumn harvest” section in my garden centered around Pecan plants.

Growth Strategy: Pecans benefit immensely from premium sprinklers like the Grandmaster Sprinkler. The faster growth cycles mean more harvests per day, and with mutation opportunities on each harvest, you’ll maximize profit potential.

#3 Best: Ferntail (120,000 Sheckles)

Why it’s valuable: Ferntail seeds deliver solid value at 120,000 Sheckles per harvest while being significantly easier to obtain than Acorns. As a mid-tier reward on the event track, most active players will unlock Ferntails within the first few days of the event.

What I really appreciate about Ferntails is their unique aesthetic – they’re unlike any other plant in Grow a Garden, featuring distinctive foliage that adds variety to your garden layout. The green fernlike appearance provides nice contrast against the brown and orange tones of other autumn crops.

With multiple harvests and respectable base value, Ferntails serve as excellent middle-ground crops for players who want profitability without the extreme grind required for Acorns. They’re perfect for filling out garden plots while you work toward higher-tier seeds.

#4: Persimmon (45,000 Sheckles)

Why it’s worth considering: While Persimmons sit in the middle of the value rankings, they offer the best aesthetic appeal in my opinion. The bright orange fruits create stunning visual pops throughout your garden, especially when planted in clusters.

At 45,000 Sheckles per harvest, Persimmons won’t make you rich quickly, but their multiple-harvest system and reasonable drop rate from Nutty Chests make them solid supplementary income sources. I use Persimmons as “filler crops” between my high-value plants, adding visual interest while still generating decent passive income.

The orange coloring also synergizes perfectly with Halloween-themed decorations and autumn event items, making Persimmons essential for players who care about garden aesthetics as much as profits.

#5: Acorn Squash (31,000 Sheckles)

Why it’s situational: Acorn Squash serves as the entry-level seed from this update, offering 31,000 Sheckles per harvest. While this might seem low compared to the premium options, Acorn Squash has the advantage of being one of the earliest unlocks on the reward track.

For newer players or those who join the event late, Acorn Squash provides immediate value without requiring extensive grinding. The multiple-harvest mechanics ensure these plants continue producing even after you’ve unlocked better options, making them worthwhile as starter crops.

I recommend planting a few Acorn Squash early in the event to generate initial capital, then gradually replacing them with higher-value seeds as you progress through the reward track.

#6: Hazelnut (22,500 Sheckles)

Why it’s the least priority: Hazelnuts rank at the bottom with 22,500 Sheckles per harvest, making them the lowest-value addition from this update. They’re common drops from Nutty Chests, which means you’ll likely accumulate several Hazelnut seeds through normal progression.

Despite the low value, Hazelnuts still beat many standard shop seeds in terms of profitability. Their warm brown coloring fits the autumn theme, and multiple harvests mean they’re not completely worthless. However, I only recommend planting Hazelnuts if you have excess garden space or you’re specifically going for a complete autumn-themed garden aesthetic.

Budget Option: For absolute beginners with limited Sheckles, Hazelnuts might actually be preferable to more expensive shop seeds since they’re free event drops and offer guaranteed multiple harvests.

Maximizing Profit from New Seeds

Now that you know which seeds to prioritize, let me share the advanced strategies I’ve developed for squeezing maximum profits from these autumn crops.

Mutation Farming Strategy

The real money in Grow a Garden comes from stacking mutations, and these new seeds are no exception. Here’s my proven approach:

Weather Event Exploitation:

• Plant your premium seeds (Acorns, Pecans, Ferntails) just before rare weather events
• Blood Moon events provide Bloodlit mutations (4x multiplier) with predictable schedules
• Thunder events can trigger Shocked mutations (100x multiplier!) on exposed crops
• Snow weather enables Frozen mutations (5x multiplier) through Chilled + Wet combinations

Premium Tool Usage:

• Grandmaster Sprinklers guarantee specific mutations and accelerate growth
• Night Staffs placed around high-value seeds ensure Moonlit mutations (2x multiplier)
• Tanning Mirrors positioned correctly can apply Sunkissed mutations (4x multiplier)

Pet Synergies:

• Golden Goose spreads Fortune mutations to surrounding crops
• Raiju enables Shocked mutations (100x) – incredible for autumn seeds
• Dragonfly guarantees Golden mutations (20x) on crops within range

Garden Layout Optimization

Where you plant these new seeds matters more than you might think. I’ve experimented with dozens of layouts and found this configuration works best:

Premium Seed Zone (Center of Garden):

• Place your highest-value seeds (Acorns, Pecans) in the center
• Surround them with mutation-enhancing pets and tools
• Maximum density planting to fit more premium crops

Buffer Zone (Middle Ring):

• Plant mid-tier seeds (Ferntails, Persimmons) in the surrounding area
• Use these plots for mutation testing and weather event exploitation
• Easier access for quick harvesting

Filler Zone (Outer Edges):

• Lower-value seeds (Acorn Squash, Hazelnuts) on the periphery
• These plots generate passive income without requiring constant attention
• Good spots for seasonal decorations

Harvest Timing Optimization

Multiple-harvest crops require strategic timing to maximize profits:

Quick Harvest Cycles:

1. Set up notifications or timers for your fastest-growing premium seeds
2. Harvest Acorns and Pecans immediately when ready to minimize wasted growth time
3. Re-apply beneficial mutations using tools between harvests

Weather-Synchronized Harvesting:

1. Delay harvests if rare weather is approaching (check the in-game weather forecast)
2. Allow crops to mature fully before special events like Blood Moons
3. Harvest immediately after mutation application to start the next cycle

Daily Play Pattern:

• Morning session: Harvest overnight growth, replant as needed
• Midday session: Quick check for weather events and rare mutations
• Evening session: Major harvesting and optimization before bed

Additional Content in the Chubby Chipmunk Update (2026)

While the six new seeds are the stars of this update, there’s plenty of other exclusive content worth mentioning that enhances the overall autumn experience.

New Pets from Nutty Chests

The Nutty Chests don’t just contain seeds – they also drop three exclusive pets that are only available during this event:

Farmer Chipmunk: A helpful gardening companion that likely provides crop-related bonuses. Based on previous event pet patterns, I expect this pet to offer growth speed boosts or mutation chance increases.

Idol Chipmunk: This legendary-tier pet features a unique ability where it performs songs every 11-12 minutes, restoring hunger to all nearby pets. This is incredibly useful for maintaining pet productivity without constant manual feeding.

Chinchilla: The rarest pet from Nutty Chests with only a 1% drop rate (same as Acorns). Chinchillas offer unique abilities that likely complement the autumn theme, though their specific stats are still being tested by the community.

All three pets follow the typical Grow a Garden progression system – you’ll need to level them up using pet treats and toys to unlock their full potential.

Event-Exclusive Items and Cosmetics

The update also introduces numerous autumn-themed decorative items:

• Acorn Stool, Couch, and Table (furniture pieces)
• Acorn Lantern and Bookshelf (lighting and storage)
• Squirrel House (decorative building)
• Acorn Statue, Fountain, and Mirror (premium decorations)
• Acorn Rug (floor covering)

These cosmetics are purchased from the Fall Merchant NPC using Sheckles or Robux, with prices ranging from 10 million to over 1 billion Sheckles for premium items. While they don’t provide gameplay advantages, they’re essential for players building themed autumn gardens.

The furniture items can be placed freely throughout your garden, allowing for creative builds that showcase your personal style. I’ve seen incredible autumn-themed gardens in the community that incorporate these decorations beautifully.

Quality of Life Improvements

Beyond content additions, the Chubby Chipmunk update includes several QOL enhancements mentioned in the official announcements:

• Improved inventory management for seeds and items
• Enhanced pet feeding interface
• Optimized weather notification system
• Additional weather patterns (potentially autumn-specific phenomena)

These improvements might seem minor, but they significantly enhance the overall gameplay experience, especially for players managing large gardens with multiple pets and crop varieties.

Event Timeline and Limited Availability

Critical reminder: The Chubby Chipmunk event is time-limited and runs from October 4, 2026 until October 11, 2026. That’s exactly one week to obtain all six seeds and event-exclusive content.

Day-by-Day Progression Guide

Based on my experience, here’s a realistic timeline for completing the event:

Days 1-2 (Weekend):

• Claim your free Chubby Chipmunk pet immediately
• Focus intensively on feeding mutated fruits to accelerate weight gain
• Unlock Acorn Squash and Ferntail seeds from the reward track
• Open your first Nutty Chests and hope for early Persimmon/Acorn drops

Days 3-5 (Midweek):

• Continue dedicated Chubby Chipmunk feeding sessions
• Reach higher weight milestones to unlock Pecan seeds
• Accumulate additional Nutty Chests for more seed attempts
• Plant and begin harvesting your first autumn seeds for immediate profits

Days 6-7 (Final Push):

• Complete the entire reward track if you haven’t already
• Open all remaining Nutty Chests for final Acorn seed attempts
• Purchase any cosmetic items you want before the event ends
• Max out your autumn seed collection before time expires

What Happens After the Event Ends?

Once October 11th arrives and the event concludes, here’s what you need to know:

Seeds Already Planted: Any autumn seeds you’ve already planted will continue functioning normally. They won’t disappear from your garden, and you can harvest them indefinitely. This is why it’s crucial to obtain at least one of each seed before the event ends.

Unplanted Seeds in Inventory: Seeds stored in your inventory also remain permanently. You can plant them anytime after the event, making them valuable trading commodities.

Event NPCs and Mechanics: The Chubby Chipmunk event island, Nutty Chests, and reward track will likely become unavailable. You won’t be able to obtain these seeds through normal means once the event concludes.

Trading Potential: Event-exclusive seeds typically become extremely valuable in Grow a Garden’s trading economy after they’re no longer obtainable. Players who stockpile multiple copies could potentially trade them for massive profits later.

Comparing Autumn Seeds to Other Top Crops (2026)

To put these new seeds in perspective, let me compare them to some of the best crops currently available in Grow a Garden:

Premium Tier (300,000+ Sheckles):

• Tranquil Bloom: 350,000 Sheckles (still #1 overall)
• Boneboo: 300,000 Sheckles
• Matrixified Cocoa: 265,000 Sheckles

High Tier (150,000-250,000 Sheckles):

• Acorn: 150,000 Sheckles ← New autumn seed
• Pecan: 140,000 Sheckles ← New autumn seed
• Ferntail: 120,000 Sheckles ← New autumn seed
• Firework Flower: 165,000 Sheckles
• Amberheart: 157,000 Sheckles

Mid Tier (40,000-100,000 Sheckles):

• Persimmon: 45,000 Sheckles ← New autumn seed
• Parasol Flower: 180,000 Sheckles (heavily reduced from earlier estimates)
• Various exotic shop seeds in this range

The new autumn seeds slot nicely into the High and Mid tiers, making them competitive with existing premium crops. While they don’t dethrone Tranquil Bloom or Boneboo, Acorns and Pecans are absolutely worth the grind for serious farmers.

What makes these autumn seeds particularly valuable is their accessibility – unlike Tranquil Bloom (1% from Kitsune Boxes) or Boneboo (Pre-Historic Seed Packs), you can guarantee obtaining Pecans and Ferntails just by playing the event. The predictable progression makes them ideal for players who want high-value crops without pure RNG dependence.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

After watching countless players struggle with this event in my server, I’ve identified several critical mistakes that will cost you time and profits:

Mistake #1: Ignoring Mutation Feeding for Your Chipmunk

The biggest mistake I see is players feeding their Chubby Chipmunk regular, non-mutated fruits. Remember, each mutation adds 3.5% to the weight gain chance, which can increase your success rate from 15% to 50%+ with properly mutated crops.

Solution: Specifically farm easy mutations like Wet (50% during rain) on cheap crops like Watermelons, then feed those to your chipmunk. A Wet + Golden Watermelon gives you a 31.5% weight gain chance compared to just 15% for regular fruit.

Mistake #2: Waiting Too Long to Start

This event only lasts one week, and the Chubby Chipmunk weight progression takes significant time. Players who start on Day 3 or later will struggle to complete the full reward track.

Solution: Begin immediately when the event launches. Even if you can only play 30 minutes on Day 1, claiming your Chubby Chipmunk and feeding it a few times gets your progression started.

Mistake #3: Neglecting Nutty Fever Activation

I’ve talked to players who didn’t know about the Nutty Fever mechanic and wondered why their progress was so slow. Activating Nutty Fever by submitting fruits to the event NPC dramatically accelerates your chipmunk’s eating frequency.

Solution: Regularly submit fruits to trigger Nutty Fever. The increased eating speed nearly doubles your progression rate, shaving days off your grind time.

Mistake #4: Planting Low-Value Seeds in Premium Spots

Garden plot space is valuable, especially for players without maximum expansions. Wasting your best spots on Hazelnuts when you could plant Acorns costs you millions in lost potential profits.

Solution: Plan your garden layout strategically using the zoning system I outlined earlier. Reserve your center plots with the best tool/pet coverage for your highest-value seeds.

Mistake #5: Not Stockpiling Event Seeds for Future Trading

Many players plant one of each seed and ignore the rest, not realizing that event-exclusive items become increasingly valuable after events end.

Solution: Try to obtain at least 3-5 copies of each premium seed (especially Acorns and Pecans). Plant one, save the rest for trading when values skyrocket post-event. I’ve seen previous event seeds trade for 10-20x their original value months later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Chubby Chipmunk event last?

The Chubby Chipmunk event runs from October 4, 2026 until October 11, 2026 – exactly one week. This is confirmed by the official Grow a Garden Discord server and in-game announcements.

What’s the fastest way to grow my Chubby Chipmunk’s weight?

Feed it highly mutated fruits continuously. The base 15% weight gain chance increases by 3.5% per mutation, so a fruit with 5-6 mutations can give you a 30-40% success rate. Also activate Nutty Fever by submitting fruits to the event NPC to make your chipmunk eat twice as fast.

Can I still get autumn seeds after the event ends?

No new seeds can be obtained once the event ends, but any seeds you already have (planted or in inventory) remain permanently. This makes event seeds valuable trading commodities after they become unavailable.

Which seed should I prioritize if I’m short on time?

Focus on unlocking Pecan from the reward track first – it’s guaranteed if you complete the progression and offers 140,000 Sheckles per harvest. If you have extra time, try for Acorns from Nutty Chests since they’re the highest value at 150,000 Sheckles.

Do the new autumn seeds work with mutations?

Absolutely! All six new seeds can receive standard mutations like Celestial (120x), Cosmic (240x), Golden (20x), and others. I’ve personally stacked Aurora + Cosmic + Golden on a Pecan for an astronomical 475 million Sheckle sale.

Are Exotic Nutty Chests worth the Robux?

It depends on your budget and how badly you want Acorns. Exotic chests offer better drop rates, but as a free-to-play player, I obtained all six seeds without spending Robux. If you’re struggling to get Acorns by Day 6 of the event, the 10-chest bundle (1,699 Robux) might be worth considering.

How many Nutty Chests can I earn during the event?

The number varies based on how much you play, but expect 8-12 Nutty Chests if you’re consistently growing your Chubby Chipmunk’s weight. Heavy grinders might earn 15-20+ chests, significantly increasing chances for rare Acorn seeds.

Will these seeds come back in future updates?

Based on Grow a Garden’s history with event-exclusive content, these specific autumn seeds will likely remain exclusive to the Chubby Chipmunk event. However, the developers might introduce similar seasonal variants in future fall updates.

Final Thoughts and Recommendations

The Chubby Chipmunk update has honestly become one of my favorite content drops in Grow a Garden’s 2026 lineup. The six new seeds perfectly balance accessibility (guaranteed Pecan from reward track) with RNG excitement (1% Acorn drops), giving both casual and hardcore players meaningful progression goals.

From a profit perspective, Acorns and Pecans are absolutely worth grinding for. With base values of 150,000 and 140,000 Sheckles respectively, they rival some of the best permanent crops while being obtainable through dedicated play rather than pure luck. The multiple-harvest mechanics ensure these seeds continue generating income long after the event ends, making them excellent long-term investments.

What I really appreciate about this update is how it rewards player engagement without creating frustrating paywalls. Free-to-play farmers can definitely obtain all six seeds through normal gameplay, while Robux-spending players get optional accelerators through Exotic Nutty Chests. This balanced approach keeps the community happy regardless of budget.

My top recommendation: Dedicate serious time to this event during the first 3-4 days. Your future self will thank you when you’re harvesting 150,000-Sheckle Acorns while other players who skipped the event are stuck with standard shop seeds. Trust me – I skipped the Fairy World event thinking it wasn’t important, and I still regret missing those exclusive items!
