Birch Weight Scaling in Garden Horizons
A typical Birch weighs around 0.07 kg at harvest. Crop weight has a major impact on sell price —the scaling is quadratic, meaning a crop twice as heavy as average earns roughly 4× more at the market. Weight is determined randomly at harvest time, so heavier Birch crops are naturally more valuable. Using the Garden Horizons Calculator, you can input any custom weight to see the exact sell price.

Tip: The sell formula is base × ripening × (weight / baseWeight)² × mutations × variant. Even a small weight increase compounds dramatically with mutations and Gold variant active.
Birch Color Variants —Silver & Gold
Color variants in Garden Horizons multiply the final sell value of your Birch. There are three possible colors: Normal (1×), Silver (2×), and Gold (5×). The color is assigned randomly when the crop spawns, and it stacks multiplicatively with ripening stage and any active mutations.
