Citrus Tree Data

Estimated Ideal Values

Based on data from past tales, a tree's fruit is determined by taking the sum of the squares of the differences between the tree's attributes and each fruit's ideal attributes. (Much like how paint colours work).

Those fruits with the most extreme values in a category will tend to be the more difficult to get, especially if you also want the attribute that is higher or lower still (for example, Reddish Mandarin will be harder to get than Greenish Mandarin, Tangy Lime will be harder to get than Sweet Lime).

Highlighted are the fruits with the Highest (purple) and Lowest (yellow) ideal values for each attribute category. However, due to the starting attributes of the default fruits, fruits with low color and sweet values tend to be easier to get than fruits with high color and sweet values. In general, Mandarins, Tangerines, and Summerbells are considered the most difficult fruits to get in an orchard.

Below are ideal calculated values. To become a specific fruit, the tree's 4 stats together need to be closer to Fruit A than any other fruit so there will be crossover of stats (ie., a tree's color could be closer to Fruit A, but the other stats bring it closer to Fruit B, so it shows as Fruit B.)

Species	Color	Sweet	Size	Length
Citron	550	400	500	900
Coralfruit	800	400	600	350
Corian	250	650	600	400
Grapefruit	530	400	800	500
Lemon	400	300	400	650
Lenat	300	500	500	350
Lime	100	200	400	650
Mandarin	900	600	400	400
Orange	750	800	600	500
Pummelo	500	500	900	500
Summerbell	850	700	300	500
Tangelo	650	800	500	650
Tangerine	800	750	500	350

Once a fruit is determined, the adjective is based on the attribute that is the farthest from the ideal.

Statistic	Name	Direction from Ideal
Color	Reddish	Higher

Sweet	Sweet	Higher
Sweet	Tangy	Lower
Size	Large	Higher
Size	Small	Lower
Length	Long	Higher
Length	Flat	Lower
