How To Use Starfruit Seeds in Stardew Valley
Once planted,Starfruit Seedsgrow into a mature Starfruit plant after 13 days of consistent watering during the Summer season. Starfruit is a highly prized crop with a variety of valuable uses.
However, the catch is that Starfruits do not continue to produce fruit. Once you harvest the Starfruit, the plant is finished and withers away. To grow more Starfruit, you must plant new Starfruit Seeds. This single-harvest nature means you’re constantly reinvesting in Starfruit Seeds.
Starfruits have a high selling price, ranging from 750 gold to 1,500 gold (for Iridium quality), making them one of the mostexpensive crops to sell inStardew Valley. Not only that, you can process Starfruit in a Keg to make Starfruit Wine, which has an even higher selling price.
Starfruit’s sell price varies based on quality and your chosen profession. To maximize profits from Starfruit Wine, select the Tiller Profession at Farming Level 5, followed by the Artisan Profession at Level 10.
